A Union woman was arrested last Tuesday afternoon in connection with an alleged conspiracy to take a Kubota side-by-side and tools from a Bethsaida community home the previous week, the authorities said.

The woman, Heather Marie Roberts, 32, 3176 Little Rock County Line Road, Union, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and two counts of burglary of a dwelling.

Roberts remains in custody on $60,000 in bond for the three charges.

Neshoba County Sheriff Eric Clark said Roberts was arrested on Tuesday, April 18, in the afternoon by Newton County officials and was brought into NCSO custody by about 3 p.m.

According to Clark, Roberts was wanted in connection with the Kubota side-by-side theft and several power and hand tools taken from a residence on Road 282. The burglary was reported on Wednesday, April 12.

The four other suspects arrested in connection with this burglary so far are:
