An Aurora, Indiana man was arrested Friday after an investigation into a "tri-state area theft ring" regarding stolen golf carts, officials said.

Danny "Troy" Denison, 56, faces corrupt business influence and theft charges, according to a release from Dearborn County Prosecutor Lynn Deddens.

The release states the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office and the Special Crimes Unit launched a "lengthy investigation" after police received a tip in January regarding multiple thefts. The tip stated individuals from Dearborn County were involved in the conspiracy, stealing equipment and golf carts from all over the Tristate area of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

Police executed a search warrant of Denison's property at the 9600 block of Chams Way in Aurora on Monday, the release states. A golf cart, blacktop roller and other stolen items were seized by detectives.

During the follow up investigation detectives located five other stolen golf carts in Dearborn and Ripley counties. The investigation required assistance from the Dillsboro, Lawrenceburg, Aurora and Rising Sun police departments.

Deddens said the golf carts were stolen from the Dearborn Country Club, Shawnee Lookout Golf Course and a business in Mount Vernon, Indiana. The blacktop roller was stolen from a barn located on State Route 48 in Lawrenceburg.

“Sheriff Shane McHenry and the Detectives from the Special Crimes Unit are to be commended for their excellent work in this case," Deddens said in the release. "This is the perfect example of the community, law enforcement, and the prosecutor’s office working together bring justice for crime victims and I am grateful.”

Denison was charged and booked in the Dearborn County Jail.
