Raleigh County pair accused of breaking into museum

Posted:

BECKLEY (WVVA) - A pair of Raleigh County men are behind bars after allegedly trying to pull off a heist at the Huntington Museum of Art.

Remington Wright, 23, and Deon Staunton, 24, were arrested this week in Beckley. Investigators say the two broke into the museum in April to steal antiques. The suspects fled when authorities arrived.

Police say Wright had approached a pawn shop owner about selling the antiques before the break in.

Both men are charged with breaking and entering.
