During the month of May the Halifax County Sheriff's Office received reports of several residential breaking and enterings in the Hollister area. 

According to a press release, Detective Rich Somogyi investigated the crimes, which resulted in the arrest of several subjects in the area and the recovery of the stolen property. 

Further investigation led to the recovery of an auto transport trailer concealed in the woods in the Hollister area. 

The trailer was previously reported stolen from a company in the Richmond, Va., area. 

The investigation led to the Monday arrest of Jan Lynch, 42, of Hollister. 

Lynch was placed in the Halifax County Jail under a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 17.
