WARSAW, Ind. (WANE) - Police in Kosciusko County arrested two men Wednesday morning after one of them accidentally left a credit card at a home where there had been a report of an attempted burglary.

At around 4:30 a.m., Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department deputies responded to a 911 call of an attempted break-in at a residence in Etna Green.  The homeowner told police that he had scared off the suspects, but one of them had dropped a credit card.  Police believe the credit card had been used to try and jimmy the door open.

Warsaw City Police were able to find the suspects at the Shell gas station located at Detroit and Center Street just before 5 a.m.

20-year old Jeffrey Alan Reffett of Milford and 23-year old Joshua Phillip Geberin of Warsaw were arrested and preliminarily charged with felony burglary.
