CHOP SHOP DISCOVERED IN LEVY


On August 4, 2020, Levy County Sheriff’s Office Detectives arrested Oscar Gomez Guerra (4/10/69) at 21030 SE 71st Place in Morriston. The arrest was reported in a LCSO press release dated August 5, 2020.

On August 11, 2020, LCSO Detectives arrested Guerra again. Guerra was charged this time with two counts of Grand Theft of a Vehicle and one count of Operating a Chop Shop. Guerra is being held at the Levy County Detention Center on a $75,00.00 bond.

The latest arrest was made based on the fact that LCSO located a “Skid Steer” on the property valued at $39,000.00. The Skid Steer was reported stolen in Pasco County, Florida on July 30, 2020. They also located a van which was reported stolen from Dade County. This vehicle was being used by Guerra regularly and it had been modified to conceal the actual Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Detectives also located the “shell” of another van with no visible VIN.

LCSO Detectives are continuing their investigation. Members of the public who have conducted business with Guerra are encouraged to contact Detective Scott Stancil of the Criminal Investigations Division. Anyone can report suspicious activity to LCSO 24 hours a day at 352-486-5111. They can also make anonymous reports to Crime Stoppers at 1-877-349-8477.
