In recent weeks, certain areas of Florence have seen a rise in vehicle burglaries, with valuable items such as firearms being stolen. Surprisingly, many of these incidents involved unlocked vehicles. Responding to this trend, the Florence police force has ramped up patrols in the affected neighborhoods.
Early on Sunday morning, patrol officers from the night shift successfully located and apprehended a seventeen-year-old male resident of Florence. The juvenile suspect is currently being held at the Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention Center as the investigation continues.
Authorities emphasize that this remains an active case, and urge the public to remain vigilant. If you observe any suspicious behavior, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Florence Police Department.
