During a single raid , deputies from Elbert and El Paso counties have recovered items stolen in various burglaries within and outside the counties.

Among those items are heavy construction equipment, machinery, fireworks, weapons, and items used to manufacture methamphetamine, authorities announced.

Elbert County deputies were investigating a string of burglaries in the last few weeks, when a tip led them to obtain a search warrant for a property in the 35000 block of Judge Orr Road in El Paso County.

When both agencies went onto the property to execute the search warrant, it took two days to complete because of the size and number of the items.

Several suspects have been identified, but no charges have been filed yet as the investigation continues.
