Police in Franklin County, Indiana say they uncovered an unexpected surprise while paying a visit to two people on probation Monday afternoon.

According to police, state troopers were conducting a home visit at the Brookeville residence of 34-year-old Lloyd Conn and 21-year-old Tiffany Hollins when they discovered an active meth lab, a gun, and truck loads of stolen property.

Both are registered with the Franklin County Probation Department.

During the search of their home on Smoky Hollow Road, police confiscated the meth-making materials and the gun, along with a stolen riding lawn mower and box trailer, and five pickup truck loads of items believed to be stolen. Investigators remained at the home for hours overnight sorting through the property.

Conn and Hollins were arrested on felony charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. The pair is also facing child endangerment charges after authorities found two children under the age of 3 in the home. The children are now in the custody of Child Protective Services.

The case remains under investigation and police say additional charges may be added.
