Two Charged With Burglaries After Manhunt In Flomaton

January 30, 2017

Three people were taken into custody after a manhunt Sunday night in Flomaton.

At 5:44 p.m. Sunday, the Flomaton Police Department responded to the report of several vehicles that had been burglarized on Houston Street.  At 6:34 p.m., officers were called to a business burglar alarm on Highway 31. They arrived to find a shattered window in the rear of the business.

Flomaton Police and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office set up a perimeter, and a K-9 team from the Alabama Department of Corrections was called to search.

Juvenile males ages 15 and 17 were taken into custody and turned over to their guardians. An 18-year old female was taken into custody but later released without charges.

‘The male juveniles will face charges including burglar of a vehicle, theft of property, attempted theft of property, first degree criminal mischief and possession of burglary tools.

According to Flomaton Police, the juveniles are responsible for 10 different vehicle burglaries and the burglary of one business.

“Our officers did an outstanding job tonight. This is teamwork at its best. Working together with others to get the job done. It is so sad that juveniles are involved in these types of crimes and not spending time being normal teenagers. If they want to bring their crime to Flomaton then we will bring our whole department to them,” Flomaton Police Chief Bryan Davis said.

    So now what will the system do. Catch and release is the norm. They can be back in business in no time.

    Released and turned over to their guardians! There is no punishment to speak of in place for juveniles. They are probably combing the streets again tonight doing the same thing.

    They are very lucky they were not shot by a home owner.

    Those vehicles happened to be mine and my boyfriend’s, hopefully they will punished to the full extent of the law and not receive a “slap on the back of the hand”.
