A central Ohio sheriff’s office is working with an agency hundreds of miles away involving phones stolen during a music festival in Licking County.
The Licking County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) said the in-depth investigation involved federal agencies in a recent post on Facebook. The office had gotten several calls about phones being stolen from the Lost Lands Music Festival, according to the post.
The LCSO also wrote the office is working with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) after stolen phones were found during a traffic stop there. The stop happened Sept. 25 and 152 cell phones were found in the car, a sergeant with the NCSHP said.
The NCSHP said 20 of the phones were confirmed to be stolen and work is being done to identify the owners of the rest to confirm additional thefts. The phones positively identified so far have been linked to the music festival, according to NCSHP. All four people in the car were arrested and charged with 20 counts each of possession of stolen property. They’re all from Florida.

“Hundreds of stolen cell phones from Lost Lands Music Festival found in North Carolina”
One might say “Hundreds of Lost Phones” from the music festival.
Indeed.
A teams of pickpockets worked their way through the crowd during a performance.
Maybe the folks there were too stoned to notice their phones were stolen.
Can you hear me now?
Licking County?
I wonder how that name came about.
The Licking river runs through it.
Fertile ground for the old “bump” maneuver.
I always wondered who the inspiration for North Carolina’s French Broad River was.
Yep some women here in LA have shorts that read
IT WON’T SPANK ISELF
On the streets you don’t want to stop at.
It is nice having the library of Congress at your finger tips for such research projects.
I find out about things I wouldn’t have bothered with 25 years ago .
