According to an affidavit filed in Provo's 4th District Court, officers went to Bean's pawn shop on Saturday because of four people who were bringing items to sell at the business. Two of the suspects fled, one was arrested, and police are seeking possession of stolen property charges against the fourth. Audrey Hartford, 23, was charged with obstruction for allegedly concealing some of the stolen property, the affidavit said. She was also charged with possession of heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. When officers searched the pawn shop, they found a number of stolen items, including new televisions, still in the box, with the UPC symbols cut off the boxes, police said. The affidavit said Bean also admitted to taking in two stolen vacuum cleaners from the same suspects on a prior date. Ludlow said the items were stolen in Utah, Salt Lake and Summit counties.
