The Oxford Police Department arrested four men recently during a burglary.
According to a report, on Sunday, officers responded to a 911 call in the 100 block of Creekmore Drive in reference to a disturbance.
After a quick response from patrol officers, four suspects were apprehended within minutes of the call.
After further investigation, Markevius Owten, 22, and Marquis Handy, 26, both of Oxford; Joshua Handy, 22, of Myrtle; and Nickolus Taper, 21, of Sardis were taken into custody.
Each were charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary/home invasion.
All four were taken before a Lafayette County Justice Court judge for their initial bond hearing and each issued a $35,000 bond.
Owten’s bond was revoked due to him being out on a previous felony bond.
