Months of conspiring to steal surveying equipment from their employer has landed two Pasco County men in jail.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), Bradley Richard Ragsdill, 23, of Lutz, and Bradley Kinsman Perez, 23, of Dade City, were arrested at 4 p.m. on November 22 on charges of scheming to defraud.
The arrest reports state that between May 1 and November 25 of this year, Ragsdill and Perez conspired to steal surveying equipment from their employer, International Surveying Equipment, Inc., located off Cypress Ridge Blvd. in Wesley Chapel. The two duplicated a key to the business in order to gain unauthorized access to it and deleted inventory records of the products that they were planning to steal, according to the arrest reports.
In total, Ragsdill and Perez stole more than $26,000 in surveying equipment. Perez told deputies after his arrest that he stole the equipment because he thought that the business was going under and that he would sell the stolen products if he needed to “make a few bucks,” the arrest report states. Ragsdill admitted to his crimes and apologized.
Both men were released on one charge each of scheming to defraud on $10,000 bonds.
