TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) -- One man is in custody and another man is wanted for the burglary of two businesses in Lee County.

Investigators say Jeffrey Lesley, 51, entered the back door of the Pizza Inn Express in Mooreville January 11th and attempted to steal an ATM.

Yard Barnes, also in Mooreville, was burglarized January 25th when someone gained entry through the front door and took cash.

Lesley is charged with both crimes and his bond is set at $150,000.

Investigators used video surveillance to identify Lesley.

"We've had several ATM's attempted to be taken. We had one successfuly jerked out of a business with a truck, but it was too heavy to load. So, they just drug it down the road. And then this one they never left the building. Those things are pretty stable. Many times you can't get access to it," said Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson.

An arrest warrant has been issued for John Wesley, 51, also of Mooreville.
