FREMONT COUNTY, COLO. -- Fremont County Sheriff's deputies have arrested two brothers in connection with the theft of about $600 worth of power tools from a gym.

Deputies said 26-year-old Nathan Clinkinbeard and 21-year-old Dusty Eslick were at the Lincoln Park gym Sunday afternoon without authorization. Clinkinbeard took the tools from the men's locker room and was caught on the gym's surveillance camera.

Clinkinbeard came back to the gym Monday, and a contracter, who owned the tools and recognized him from the video, confronted him.
