Detectives with HCSO’s Economic Crimes Section con- ducted an extensive investiga- tion into bank fraud and mail theft cases throughout Hills- borough County. Through in- vestigative means, detectives were able to identify the sus- pects, and on June 23, 2022, executed a search warrant at a home in Tampa.
Detectives found that the suspects had in their posses- sion numerous forms of per- sonally-identifying information, including social security cards and credit cards.
There, they also located and recovered stolen firearms and ammunition, stolen lap- tops, stolen auto parts, stolen lawn equipment, and other miscellaneous items. The de- fendants had accumulated the items worth thousands of dol- lars over a period of several months.
As a result of the search
