Burglars Steal Guns, Xboxes

By Matt Wiley

Two men and a juvenile are in custody, after surveillance video and a witness caught them burglarizing a residence in Wesley Chapel.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), at around 5 p.m. on July 17, Kwame Eric Samuel Rolle, 23, of Tampa; George Douglas Tabb, 18, of the Bridgewater community in Wesley Chapel; and a 17-year-old from Perry, were arrested for armed burglary of a residence on Sushi Ct. in the Chapel Pines community, located off Curley Rd. 

The report says that the trio forced open a gate at the rear of the residence around 12:14 p.m. on July 17 and entered the home through a sliding glass door. Once they got inside, they took three handguns, two Xbox gaming systems and other items and put them in gym bags, before fleeing to 6402 Sushi Ct., about six houses north. The suspects were captured on surveillance video and seen by an eyewitness.

Deputies executed a search warrant at the home and recovered the stolen items. Rolle and Tabb were arrested on one count each of armed burglary and were still in the Land O’Lakes Detention Center on a $150,000 bond at our press time.

The minor was arrested and taken to the Pasco Juvenile Assessment Center.
