The Levy County Sheriff’s Office
has responded to multiple complaints in the last 5 weeks in the South Eastern
part of Levy County
On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, Deputies
again responded to this area after receiving reports of an ATV stolen from one
home and a boat stolen from another. Utilizing some new investigative
techniques as well as some very old ones, and after putting a few miles under
their boots, Investigators determined the general direction of travel taken by
the suspects. On a hunch, they located
the stolen boat hidden at a home approximately 5 miles away.
Many hours and miles later,
Investigators identified three local juveniles, one 16 years old and two 17
year olds, that are responsible for all of these crimes. Four ATV’s, a boat and
one gun (with a combined value of $25,500) were recovered. Most of the items
have been returned to the rightful owners.
Charges for grand theft and
burglary have been forwarded to the State Attorney on all three youths.
