Police have arrested two Alabama men in a string of golf cart thefts from several Mississippi communities.
On October 24, 2023, officers with the Madison Police Department responded to the Reunion subdivision regarding a stolen golf cart that was missing from a resident’s home. Shortly after searching the area, the golf cart was abandoned at a residence a few miles away. While recovering the golf cart, officers received two more reports of a stolen 2018 F-150 truck and a 2022 EZ-GO golf cart from separate residences in the Reunion subdivision.
Later that same day, through investigation, it was determined that the stolen items were possibly in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area.
Moss Point Police Department officers located the stolen items in their jurisdiction parked in a hotel parking lot. The stolen items were recovered and returned to the rightful owners by Madison PD investigators as the investigation continued.
After several weeks of using numerous investigative resources, Madison PD investigators gathered enough evidence to identify two suspects, George Nick Zavros, age 41, of Irvington, AL and Lou William Vallas, age 46, of Mobile, AL.
