September 8, 2025 – Charlotte County, FL
In a great example of interagency collaboration, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office have uncovered an organized theft ring responsible for an estimated $2 million-plus in stolen property since 2021.
Detectives have identified a group of suspects involved in 45 felony cases across 17 Florida jurisdictions. Given the breadth of the cases, a statewide prosecutor has been assigned.
The thieves responsible predominantly targeted construction equipment, trailers and utility vehicles. During the investigations approximately $1,097,500 in stolen property was recovered, with ten of these recoveries being seizures from the suspects or their properties.
Investigators employed various techniques including surveillance video, physical forensic evidence, interrogations, phone search warrants, aerial reconnaissance and undercover officers to outline the group’s organizational structure and establish probable cause for an additional 12 cases.
“I am especially proud of the teamwork and coordination exhibited here that resulted in bringing down these brazen thieves,” said Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk. “The investigation’s thorough nature and use of technology should serve as an example to emulate.”
“This investigation is another example of why it’s not a good idea to commit crimes in Southwest Florida. Our agencies will always band together to protect our communities and hold criminals accountable. I want to thank all of the detectives who worked diligently on this case to do just that. And to the ones still at large, believe me when I say it’s just a matter of time before you, too, are behind bars. You can bank on that.”
Sheriff Bill Prummell
The investigations also involved detectives from other agencies with the overall effort being unified and overseen by Collier and Charlotte County detectives.
In May and August 2025, warrants were issued by the statewide prosecutor for the arrest of multiple individuals on various charges, including conspiracy to commit grand theft, grand theft, dealing in stolen property, and multiple grand theft auto charges. Most of the subjects have been apprehended, although some remain at large, and investigations are continuing to locate them and take them into custody. Seven arrests were made on local charges.
