MCCRACKEN COUNTY, Ky. -- Seven people are involved in a theft and drug investigation in Western Kentucky.

It first started on August 6th when deputies responded to a complaint of a stolen camper on McNeil Alsip Road in McCracken County.

The sheriff's office started investigating and said someone stole a Keystone camper from a home there.

Video surveillance footage shows a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck hauling the stolen camper away, the sheriff's office said.

Shortly after that, deputies went to 7620 Blandville Road and began preparing a search warrant for residence, the sheriff's office described in a release.

Matthew Rogers, 26, was identified as a potential suspect. He was then found across the street from the home and was arrested on an unrelated shoplifting arrest warrant.

Detectives then got the search warrant, searched the home and found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

While inside, they found Angela Carrol and arrested her in connection with the illegal drugs. Detectives also recovered the stolen camper from the home.

Detectives also got another search warrant for a home at 407 South Friendship Road on August 9th. There they found the truck that was allegedly used to steal the camper. They also found more methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the home as well.

Miranda Guzman, James Walker, and Stevie Jones were all then arrested and charged with illegal drugs during the investigation.
