Two teenagers charged with Oran burglaries

ORAN, Mo. -- Two Oran teens are in custody in connection to burglaries that happened overnight Tuesday.

Jesse S. Brown, 18, and Michael W. Williams, 18, both of Oran, are both charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of stealing and a count of first-degree property damage. Their arrests stem from burglaries at an Oran business and a building behind a home Tuesday night, according to a news release from the Scott County Sheriff's Department.

An Oran business was broken into either Tuesday night or early Wednesday, and a safe with an undetermined amount of money, a computer and a cooler were reported stolen, according to the release.
