On Friday, January 27, 2012 officers from the Marion Police Department with the assistance of Marion Juvenile Probation searched a residence in the 1000 block of East Church Street. Investigators say the search revealed four AK-47 assault rifles that were stolen early Thursday morning from Dunhams.
