Glad they caught these thugs. My car was ransacked about a year or so ago in Cantonment, yes, I did inadvertently forget to lock my car one night. And yes, they got inside, threw everything that was in the glove compartment all over my car. I did have 2 scratch off tickets worth 65.00 which they did take. Just glad they caught these kids. I am so tired of working two jobs only to have things stolen. We need to really crack down on idiots like these kids.
Did these kids go to Jail or Juvenile detention?
Thank you Escambia County Sheriffs Office……..love ya
Good job LEO’s. If convicted, I hope they get the max.
Make any excuse you wish. Blame others for not making it harder for them to prey on them. These are predators. They would’ve done whatever they needed to prey on their victims. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . David.for.better.people,fewer.excuses
The saying “Locks are for honest people” should be amended to “and morons”.
These dummies wouldn’t have stolen a thing without the help of their victims!
Burglary is burglary. There is NO excuse for a thief EVER! Thieves are scum, period. I hope all these individuals get prosecuted as adults and to the fullest extent of the law. The amount of damage and invasion in our home was far too excessive for this to be properly handled in any juvenile system. It took a long time, but thank God for our local police and their hard work catching this despicable ring… God speed getting them ALL behind barsl! Our prayers have been answered!
“area resident” just gave some great advice.
Pensacola Police Department played a large role in this investigation and deserve credit as well. Great job law enforcement.
Leave your keys and valuables in your car the rest will take care of itself.
How far back did these burglaries go?? Our truck was stolen a year ago, lucky we got it back in one piece that same morning they stoled it, we have never ever heard anything on this
My grandkids are always asking me why I lock everything up and keep the garage door closed. I tell them it’s because I’m from California and I don’t want punks to take what little I have worked hard for. So, neighbors, lock everything up…pretend you’re from California.
