ST. GEORGE — A couple arrested in Mesquite, Nevada, in December 2022 has been linked to several open mail and vehicle theft cases – and then some.

According to a statement released by Mesquite Police Sgt. Wyatt Oliver, Roger Theodore Jenkins, 55, of Pahrump, Nevada, and 34-year-old Lindsey Fay Sarac, 34, of Las Vegas, Nevada, are in custody at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas.

They face a growing list of charges, including a forgery operation that was discovered during the weeks-long investigation involving more than 70 victims and 160 felony charges filed between the pair, Oliver told St. George News.

The investigation was opened after the pair was arrested during a traffic stop after they had fled from police in a stolen truck and were suspected in a rash of local mail thefts reported over the course of several months.
