Williams said warrants have been issued for Tradarvio Maxon, 27, and Daniel McClinton, 22, in connection with the thefts. She said the men are also listed with the National Crime Information Center as fugitives.

“We received a lot of tips about the men through Crimestoppers,” she said.

She said anyone who knows the whereabouts of Maxon and McClinton should call
