IDAHO FALLS — Five people, including two juveniles, were arrested in connection with a business burglary that took place over the weekend in Idaho Falls.

   A few minutes later a green, Dodge Intrepid that matched the vehicle description was stopped at the intersection of Sunnyside Road and Ross Avenue. Inside the vehicle, the deputy said cigarettes and a cigar could be seen. A search of the vehicle was then conducted, and authorities say cases of unopened beer and cigarettes were found in the trunk of the car.
