BOCA RATON – Boca Raton Police nabbed three suspects in connection with a burglary reported just before 2:30 p.m. Nov. 30 at a home on NW 27th Avenue.
Suspects were identified as Travis Grant, 21, and Anquinette Webb, 18, both of Deerfield Beach and Herison Joseph, 24, of Boca Raton.
Public Information Manager Mark Economou said Joseph and Grant were charged with two counts of burglary to a dwelling, two counts of grand theft, and obstructing an officer. Webb was charged with two counts each of burglary and grand theft.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for their car and recovered a large amount of property.
Authorities are investigating the trio further to determine if they have committed other burglaries.
Initially, said Economou, Boca Police responded to a report of two suspicious males seen leaving a house on 27thAvenuewith a television on top of their car.
A neighbor called police when she saw a small black sporty car with a spoiler backed into a nearby driveway and two black male suspects putting a television (still in the box) on the roof of the car and drive away.
A short time later, said the police report, a Boca Raton officer, working an off-duty assignment nearby, saw the car and began to follow it. The officer stopped the vehicle in a church parking lot and two male suspects jumped out and fled on foot. The driver, identified as Anquinette Webb, was taken into custody immediately. After a foot pursuit, one suspect, identified as Henrison Joseph, was TASERed and taken into custody.
The third suspect identified as Travis Grant was not initially located, said police. Later that afternoon, a resident called reporting a suspicious person in the same area matching Grant’s description. Officers, including K-9 teams, once again searched the area. A short time later, Grant surrendered when he was located and confronted by the K-9 officers.
The report said detectives linked Joseph, Grant and Webb to at least one other residential burglary in which several televisions and jewelry were taken.
