MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A Jackson County grand jury indicted two men accused of barging into a home and robbing a man and a woman of their medical marijuana.

The sheriff’s department says investigators arrested 35-year-old Jack Watt and 43-year-old Mark Anders after tracking a trail of stolen vehicles and other evidence of the robbery to Salem and Portland.

Both are in custody on multiple charges — Anders in Jackson County and Watt in Marion County.

The crime occurred Dec. 12. Two robbers wearing ski masks ordered the man and woman onto the floor at gunpoint. The robbers bound the pair and continued to punch and kick them as they ransacked the place.

The robbers took more than 10 pounds of marijuana, an undisclosed amount of cash, a firearm and a vehicle.
