From the online news.
Last year....Pardon me for not linking the whole thing. Read it. Most of you will remember this;
"Earlier this year, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office had warned Villagers that a ring of “Gypsies” who had previously targeted Florida’s Friendliest Hometown were back. And an alert Villages couple sitting down to lunch had noticed two men in a Dodge Durango behaving oddly on Allistar Court in the Village of Winifred and called law enforcement.
The sheriff’s office swiftly swept in.
The driver of the Durango was identified as 39-year-old Zenon Szynkler by his Polish passport. He told a deputy he was staying in a Tampa hotel and had been looking for a place to fish. He was within the Village of Winifred which, other than the neighborhood pool, has no bodies of water.
The second suspect, 36-year-old Adamo Czerner was tracked by a bloodhound to Laurel Manor Recreation Center where he tried to blend in as a Villager. He also had a Polish passport and told deputies he had been dropped off in the recreation center parking lot by a female who was going to look for a hotel room, then come back and get him.
The following day, deputies retraced the blood hound track and discovered behind the burglarized residence a crow bar. They also discovered under some shrubbery a black bag with the stolen silverware inside.
Last month, Szynkler pleaded no contest to a felony charge of grand theft and was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.
The case against Czerner, who had been charged with the more serious crimes, was dropped by the prosecutor’s office. Court records indicate that correspondence mailed to Czerner, who was free on bond, had been returned as “undeliverable.”
Not my usual but I can't link it. You all know why.
