Jamestown (CSi) Two women have been charged with theft of property in connection with missing firearms from a rural Jamestown apartment.

25 year old Julia Grajeda, no address listed, and 31 year old Esther Cruz, of 106 6th St. Northwest Apt 2, were each charged with theft of property a Class C felony, in Southeast District Court in Jamestown. Both women are free on bond.

On January 29th, a rural Stutsman County resident arrived home and discovered two people sleeping on his couch. The man knew one of the people, a female. He searched his house and allegedly found six firearms had been taken from a gun cabinet. The man woke the couple and called Stutsman County Communications Center to report the people in his house without his permission and the missing firearms.

The investigation later determined that Cruz and Grajeda had allegedly been at the man’s rural Stutsman County home the day before to pick up the couple found in the house.

Court records show that while Grajeda and Cruz were at the house, they allegedly took the firearms and then later that day allegedly traded some of the firearms to a drug dealer in Bismarck for methamphetamine and heroin.

The maximum penalty for a Class C felony is five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
