Four Busted For Commerical Burglaries
July 29, 2014
Four people have been arrested in connection with a series of commercial burglaries in Escambia County.
Last Friday morning, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple burglaries and attempted burglaries at local businesses. They first found a large commercial moving truck had been stolen from the Ellyson Field Industrial Park. According to the truck’s GPS data, the vehicle was driven to other nearby businesses where deputies found that two other burglaries had occurred.
A business in the 8000 block of Grow Road was burglarized with copper stolen, while a building in the 3000 block of a Bill Metzmer Lane was also burglarized.
The vehicle was then driven to the area of Palafox Street and Brent Lane where deputies located another burglary and attempted burglary.
GPS data showed the vehicle was driven to Attapulgus, GA, where it stopped for a period of time before traveling back to Quincy, FL
Deputies in Quincy were notified, and they located the truck abandoned on the side of the road.
Deputies in Decatur, GA, approached a house where the truck had stopped. They observed four males in a vehicle in the front yard.
ECSO Investigators traveled to Georgia. Based upon interviews, forensic evidence and the recovery of stolen items, four arrests were made: Damarkus Larrell Mathis, 26, Bainbridge GA; Victor Lamar Bodison, 36, Bainbridge, GA; Derrick Wilson Hill, 36, Orlando; amd Derrick Joseph Reaves, 24, Orlando. Investigators believe these suspects are responsible for additional burglaries across the Southeast, and the investigation is ongoing.

So glad these guys were apprehended. They arent too bright. And like Mick said, their life’s calling is to prey on innocent ppl.
you can`t fool Mother Nature,,opps,,,wrong one,,I meant the good ole GPS,,good work law enforcement…
Nothing good will ever come from these 4, go ahead and give them the max prison sentence and then be prepared do it all over again…their life’s calling will be to prey on others…sad but true…
GPS ratted them out.
GPS is wunnerful.
They must consider themselves smart and illusive the way and routes they took to do their dirty deeds but they were not smart enough to realize the truck had a GPS devise on it that really worked. It will not only keep the company driver honest but it will follow and catch the crooks. They must be so busy stealing to watch any TV or they would have already heard about these devices. THANKS to the company for having the GPS and to all the police people involved in catching these crooks. May the crooks serve a very long time in the slammer.
