purchasing precious metals and other items. But the Sheriff’s Office is working with county
officials to change that, by enacting an ordinance that would create the same paper trail to
keep track of sellers and what’s been sold.
Bolger and Spinazola also admitted to committing similar burglaries in Hernando

Although these prolific burglars are off the streets, residents are urged to secure
their homes whenever they leave them unattended, even for just a

or activity in their neighborhood and report it, immediately, by dialing 911.
