Deputies Uncover $300,000 In Stolen Goods From North Escambia, Surrounding Areas
July 29, 2009
Escambia County (Ala.) authorities believe they have uncovered a multi-state theft ring that targeted homes and businesses in North Escambia, Santa Rosa County and south Alabama.
Authorities are looking for Mark Anthony Harrison, 38, in connection with the theft of items like all-terrain vehicles, trailers, motorcycles and motor homes. Harrison is believed to have stolen the items and then sold them to friends and acquaintances at very low prices.
Property discovered on Upper Creek Road in Flomaton included a four wheeler that was reported stolen from Century Marine in December of last year. Two additional stolen four wheeler and two motorcycles were also recovered from the property.
When officers executed search warrants at home in Riverview and Brewton, they located a stash of additional stolen property, including a Fleetwood motor home. In all the stolen goods are worth an estimated $300,000 from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in Florida, and Escambia and Baldwin counties in Alabama. Once Harrison is located, he is expected to face theft charges in all four counties.
Anyone with information on Harrison’s whereabouts, or anyone that may have purchased property from him is asked to call the Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Department at (251) 867-0304.

All I have to say is,I rate thieves right up there with liars and child molesters and there’s no room on this planet for them. I believe good folks will have belly full and start doing what we used to do back in the day with trash such as that–you know protect your own.
Can we have a picture of this guy? The red van is a perfect example that there are people in the communities who look out and watch for the bad guys!
If it was not so serious it would be funny.How the heck does someone have the nerve to steal a motorhome,and what was he going to do with it? It is sad that we can’t leave doors unlocked anymore.People work hard for what they have (well most) and then punks like that come along and think they can get away with stealing their belongings.Sad part is they get away with a slap on their hands most of the time.
Do you have a picture of the guy? Maybe someone knows where he is.
I sure wish my son’s stolen motorcycle is in the recovery but i’m sure it is long gone! It’s so sad that people are capable of things like that and can lay their heads down at night!! One day though, I believe they will have to answer for stealing whether it be to authorities or to the good lord above!!!
yet another low life dirt bag who does not know how to work for things. I am tired of honest hard working people being victims of crimes like this. folks should start following these 3 rules 1. Buy a gun (pistol or long gun) 2. learn how to use it and care for it, store it, Etc. 3. Be willing to use it to defend themselves, their families, and their property.
if people start doing that, the low life criminals will get the message. No more long legal process of waiting for trials and convictions for the ultimate release of criminals from the already overcrowed and underfunded prison and correctional systems. we as citizens need to put an end to repeat offenders. I would rather see dead offenders! Dirt Bags Beware!
MawMaw you sure got that right. When I was growing up we never locked our doors, not even when we left home to be gone for any length of time. I don’t believe it’s because of our economy being down, just plain ole mean folks that want to make a few quick bucks at anyones expense.
Now they atta be ashamed stealing from good ole working folks. I sure do wish we could go back to living back in the old days when our doors could be left open all night in order to feel a little wind flow through the house, but people like Mr. Harrison make that impossible, so thanks to him I’m going to load that double barrel shotgun so I can keep what I work so hard for.
