FORT SMITH - The Fort Smith Police Department announced Tuesday that four people have been arrested in connection with multiple commercial burglaries in the southwest part of the city. The investigation began in November.
The Department said Tuesday that 46-year-old Corey Newberry, 24-year-old Jackie Tindall, 42-year-old Frankie Thompson, and 23-year-old Skylar Batt have all been taken into custody, but investigators
are still looking for one person that could have information in the case.
“On December 04, 2017 information was obtained that led to the first arrest in which a van was recovered from one of the Commercial Burglaries.
