|
WENGNews writes, "PUNTA GORDA POLICE SERVED A SEARCH WARRANT ON A SUNSHINE BOULEVARD HOME LAST NIGHT AND ARRESTED FOUR TEENS IN CONNECTION WITH AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY EARLIER IN THE MONTH. POLICE SAY THAT BACK ON APRIL 4TH, A 56 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WALKING THRU THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING CENTER WHEN HE WAS SURROUNDED BY AT LEAST TWO OF THE TEENS, WHO PUNCHED HIM WHILE GOING THRU HIS POCKETS. A PASSING MOTORIST SCARED OFF THE TEENS BEFORE THEY COULD GET TO HIS WALLET. POLICE ARRESTED 15 YEAR OLD JEFFREY JACKSON, 17 YEAR OLD PATRICK DeROCHE, AND 14 YEAR OLD THOMAS DeROCHE, ALL OF PUNTA GORDA, ON ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AND BATTERY CHARGES STEMMING FROM THAT INCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THOMAS DeROCHE AND 17 YEAR OLD ROBERT THOMPSON, ALSO FROM PUNTA GORDA, WERE CHARGED WITH BURGLARY AND PETIT THEFT FOR WHAT POLICE CALLED A SEPARATE BUT RELATED INCIDENT. THOMPSON WAS RELEASED TO HIS PARENTS, WHILE THE OTHER THREE WERE TAKEN TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER DOWN IN FORT MYERS. POLICE ALSO RECOVERED BAGS OF MARIJUANA AND PARAPHERNALIA FROM THE HOME, AND DETECTIVES ALSO OBTAINED CONFESSIONS AND RECOVERED EVIDENCE ON A RECENT STRONG-ARM ROBBERY BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. MORE ARRESTS ARE PENDING AS THEIR INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. "
