‘Massive Burglary Ring’ Suspects Busted
January 19, 2013
Police have arrested two men that allegedly burglarized at least 50 homes.
John Flynn, 19, has been charged with nine burglaries and one count of grand theft auto. Jo’Kavious Wilson, 18, has been charged with seven burglaries and one count of grand theft auto.
Eight burglary and one grand theft warrants also are active on Decker Brooks, 21, of 910 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr., Pensacola. He has not yet been taken into custody. Flynn and Brooks are brothers.
Pensacola Police Department Detective Danny Harnett said the males are suspects in excess of 50 residential burglaries that occurred since August 2012. More charges are pending on these and other suspects as the investigation continues.
Among items taken were televisions, computers, alcohol, guns, coins and a vehicle. Detectives are still trying to determine what the suspects did with the items.
Harnett said the investigation determined that Flynn was the leader of the group, who typically committed burglaries during daytime hours by ringing doorbells or knocking on doors. When no one answered, they would kick doors in for access to residences.

Ahhh, if they get a Judge like Nobles…a slap on the wrist a couple years learning new techniques then out to resume.
Get a monitored alarm (do it yourself for $300 or less) , get a CWP and carry.
50 homes in 6 months? That’s enough loot to stock a small retail store.
Maybe we should deal with these thieves like in the days where they would cut off a hand, which I think is still a practice in some countries
Two points for our local PoPo. Not so good for , John(no brains) Flynn, and parter in crime, Jo (not to smart) Wilson. Hopefully they’ll get time , instead of being put on supervised probation. We’ll see !!
Good job LEOS! More bad guys off the streets! This is why we need a neighborhood Watch group in every area of Escambia County!
