ELLSWORTH — An eight-month joint investigation into a string of burglaries in Hancock County resulted in two arrests and the recovery of approximately $200,000 in stolen property, along with what may be evidence of a drug-dealing operation.

Police recovered power tools, utility trailers, snowmobiles, snow plows, tires and a car, along with approximately 62 grams of what they believe to be methamphetamine, after conducting a search warrant on Aug. 1 at the home of Anthony Knight on Patterson Hill Road in Belfast. They also found prescription medication and approximately $3,000 in suspected drug proceeds.
