In addition to the all-terrain vehicles, officers reported finding stolen cellphones, trailers and hunting equipment at the residence, according to the report. Some of the stolen items were returned to the owners, while others were stored, the report said.

Gunman demanded dog, woman reports
A Little Rock man was arrested early Friday, accused of firing shots at his ex-girlfriend's mother while demanding she surrender a dog, police said.
Isaac Kanamwangi, 27, of 1701 Westpark Drive No. 39, was arrested about 3:20 a.m. Friday and charged with aggravated assault, according to a police report.
Police said Censi Childs, 46, was standing outside her residence in the 1500 block of Parham Pointe Drive about 2:25 a.m. Friday when a man drove up and demanded she give him a dog.
Childs told police the man pointed a gun at her and then fired three shots, while she ran inside without her dogs, police reported.
When Childs went back outside to get her dogs, she was fired at twice more, police said. The gunman then left.
Officers arrived at Childs' residence and found three .25-caliber shell casings in the road, police reported.
About 30 minutes later, officers observed Kanamwangi slowly driving by Childs' residence, police reported, and he was arrested in the 1500 block of Leander Drive in a traffic stop. A black, .25-caliber Titan handgun was found underneath the passenger seat of Kanamwangi's vehicle, police said.
Kanamwangi was being held in the Pulaski County jail Friday night in lieu of $5,000 bond.
