Multiple Pace Burglaries Cleared by Arrest
A Vehicle Burglary ring that hit the Woodbine Springs and Autumn Run North subdivisions in Pace have been arrested.
On 1/28/13, reports starting coming in to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office regarding vehicles which were burglarized. Several victims advised their cars were ransacked and items were stolen. This began a multijurisdictional investigation including Santa Rosa and Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators were able to put the pieces of the puzzle together which lead them not only to the arrest of the three suspects, but also the recovery of the stolen items. Escambia advised the ring was responsible for a total of 37 cases which were finally cleared. The burglaries in Santa Rosa County totaled 18 incidents. The group, who are from Pensacola, chose these subdivisions in Santa Rosa County because they were familiar with that particular area.
All three suspects are currently in the Escambia County Jail. They were identified as Kevin Randall Bell (26 years of age), Charles Dylan Williams (19 years of age) and Richard Kevin Craig (21 years of age). They are being held in Escambia for the crimes committed in that jurisdiction.
Santa Rosa County Investigators have a total of 52 charges which Warrants have been issued against the group. Extradition is expected back to Santa Rosa County after they face charges in Escambia.
