Man Jailed For Kidnapping Infant Linked To Other Crimes
UNCLE SANDY
A 26-year-old man charged with kidnapping an infant last month is facing charges unre- lated to the kidnapping. An- other man was also arrested and faces charges not related to the kidnapping.
Detectives with the Hills- borough County Sheriff’s Of- fice were investigating several daytime burglaries. During the course of the investigation, a vhicle of interest was identified that led detectives to Rashad Mann and another man who was observed inside the vehi- cle.
As deputies conducted sur- veillance on the two men, they were reportedly observed bur- glarizing homes. Mann and 28-year-old Anthony Gask- ins were taken into custody and linked to at least six bur- glaries throughout Hillsbor- ough County.
The investigation of the burglaries linked Mann to the kidnapping of the child who was left sleeping in a vehicle. Mann is accused of jumping into the running car and driv-

ing away with the child inside. The abandoned vehicle was discovered a short distance away. It had been abandoned at a church. The child was still inside the vehicle and was not harmed.
Detectives collected DNA from Mann and sent it to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to be compared to the DNA swabs that were collected from the stolen vehicle involved in the kidnapping.
On March 15, the DNA came back as a match.
Mann was charged with grand theft of an auto, kidnap-
ping, and child abuse. He is also facing several other charges.
He is also charged with 2 counts of burglary of an unoc- cupied dwelling; being a felon in possession of a firearm; criminal mischief; unlawful use of a two-way communica- tion device; 2 counts of bur- glary of an occupied dwelling; grand theft; grand theft of a firearm; armed burglary of a dwelling; 2 counts of grand theft; and felony petit theft.
