    I happen to know this young man very well. He dosen’t even have a vehicle, it would b nice to know all parties involved in these cases. No way this 1young man acted alone. . Can the cameras be brought out and vehicle/vehicles be shown so everyone involved can be charged as well????

    Are there pictures of the vehicle(s) that may have been used to commit the crime(s)? Might be some other burglaries that could be linked together if you have more info available that could be shared.
