A search of a stolen vehicle stopped June 7 by Sisters Police turned up numerous checks that, according to police reports, "appear to have been taken from various victims' mailboxes in and out of the Central Oregon area."

Sisters police arrested Susan Marie Vancil, 22, of Springfield, Oregon and Jade O'Donald Bartholow, 32, of Keizer, Oregon, for unauthorized use of a moter vehicle after stopping the 1978 Datsun they were driving in Sisters.

The vehicle was reportedly stolen out of La Pine June 6. Bartholow was also taken into custody on a number of outstanding warrants.
