AST reports they believe multiple suspects were involved in this break-in.

Clyde Douglas and Julius Ione have been remanded to Anvil Mountain Correctional Center. Troopers report that there are multiple suspects that have not been arrested, among them are Trevor Green and two juveniles.

Felicia Larsen, one of the suspects, was also the focus of a recent Nome Police post on social media. On Tuesday, NPD reported that Larsen had been arrested. She is being charged with arson and failure to follow conditions of release. Larsen in the only known connection between both incidents.
