An alleged thief identified as Jerrylee Adams has been arrested and charged with two counts of statutory burglary, attempted grand larceny, larceny, possession of burglary tools, and two counts of destruction of property.
According to the police, Adam broke into an adjacent car dealership via a tunnel to steal one of the cars in there but got caught and now facing the law.
Police found that Adams tried to break into Auto Chiefs’ front door with a crowbar, but abandoned the attempt after he was unable to get inside.
He then got inside the building through a broken garage panel, then tunneled his way through the wall into the adjacent Carplug.
There he snatched keys to a vehicle, a company hat and a company pen he told deputies he planned to use to leave a note to business telling them he was just taking the vehicle on a “test drive.”
On his way to retrieve the car, deputies made contact with Adams and found the loot on his person, cops said.
“Unlike Andy Dunfresne, Adam[s] would not be able to escape this,” the sheriff’s office said, referring to Tim Robbins’ character that escaped prison via a tunnel dug over 20 years in the 1994 drama, “The Shawshank Redemption.”
The police dumped the operation “The Shawshank Burglary” and that should give you a fair idea of how serious the burglary was.
