Police arrested three men Monday in connection with the theft of more than $13,000 worth of merchandise from a business.

One of the men, 38, is a self-employed licensed contractor. The other, 49, is a self-employed licensed electrician.

All three men were booked for investigation of second-degree theft and released pending investigation.

Police did not say which business was affected.
