After further investigation, deputies found more stolen property at a residence in the 400 block of Hi-View in Cole County.  Eight additional firearms were recovered from a vehicle.  Deputies also found computers, firearms, jewelry and other electronic devices. 

The search in Cole County led to the discovery of a large amount of heroin. The heroin was individually packaged into 100 doses, with an estimated street value of $2,500.00.
