Two suspects were arrested for allegedly stealing and burglarizing more than 100 vehicles this year.
Jayquan Duncan, 20, and a 16-year-old were both arrested after a months-long investigation via the Property Crimes Task Force, which includes the Tallahassee Police Department and the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
Duncan was arrested on more than 130 counts of burglary of a conveyance unarmed, several counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to a TPD news release.
The 16-year-old was also arrested on more than 130 counts of burglary of a conveyance unarmed, some counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle and grand theft.
The task force launched the “meticulous investigation” in July after receiving multiple reports of vehicle burglaries and thefts.
“During the investigation, detectives determined two suspects were stealing vehicles in northwest Tallahassee and driving them to various neighborhoods to burglarize vehicles,” TPD said.
