December 22, 2010 at 2:31AM

Authorities are looking for a group suspected in an Eau Claire, Wis., home burglary in which more than $50,000 in cash and jewelry were stolen.

The suspects were at the Lowell Inn in Stillwater on Sunday night but were evicted, said detective Mike Voelker of the Eau Claire Police Department.

A woman believed to be part of the group was arrested and had more than $12,000 in cash with her.

Members of the group are suspected drug users, Voelker said, and their whereabouts are unknown. One is known to carry a handgun in an ankle holster, and a woman in the group may have children with her.

They are believed to be traveling in a red Chevrolet Astro van with Wisconsin plate number 576 REW.

Anyone with information can call their local police or Eau Claire detective Todd Johnson at 1-715-271-1313.
