MURRYSVILLE, Pa. -- Several arrests have been made in a 10-member burglary ring that operated in several southwestern Pennsylvania counties and netted about $465,000.

WTAE's Bob Mayo reported that the announcement was made Monday morning by state Attorney General Mike Fisher at a news conference in the Greensburg state police barracks.

Donald J. Fish (pictured, right) was identified as the head of the operation, which Fisher said was responsible for at least 89 and maybe as many as 300 burglaries, mostly of businesses.

The ring operated in eight counties. Fisher said it concentrated its activities in eastern Allegheny and western Westmoreland counties.

Almost all of the burglaries were carried out in the same manner, the Attorney General's office said.

After observing possible targets over an extended period of time, the men would return at night, disable the alarm system and remove valuables, or in some cases, the safe protecting valuables, investigators said.

In just one heist, burglars got away with $249,000 in cash, U.S. Savings Bonds and jewelry contained in a safe in a Westmoreland County restaurant, investigators said.

A grand jury connected the ring to 89 burglaries and seven robberies, but investigators are trying to link the men to as many as 300 other burglaries, said Kevin Harley, spokesman for Fisher.

Police announced the following were either arrested or had warrants issued for their arrests:

• Fish, 27, of East Pittsburgh
• Keena Fish (Donald Fish's wife), 27, of Wilmerding
• Donald Wall, 26, of Turtle Creek
• Brian Harris, 29, of North Point Breeze
