Two people were arrested Sunday after a police sting of an online sale of stolen goods in North Vernon.

North Vernon officers report that they were contacted Sunday afternoon about a case where a generator, worth about $2,000, had been stolen from a business. Soon after the theft, the same generator showed up for sale at an online sales site for $300.

Officer Matt Staples worked with an employee of the owners to arrange a meeting and arrested 30-year-old Cori Fortner of North Vernon and 35-year-old Nathaniel Clement of Columbus on preliminary charges of theft.
