LABELLE, FL. -- On Tuesday January 1, 2013, at approximately 6:00 am Deputy N. Krause was beginning his shift in the area of Oak Haven Drive, in LaBelle, Florida, when he observed three males wearing dressed in dark clothing and jackets walking through the yards.

Deputy Krause made contact with the three males and identified them as 16 year old Jose Lopez, 17 year old Joseph Rodriguez and 15 year old Damian Wilson. Deputy Krause spoke with all three of the juveniles and found that their stories were inconsistent and continued to change. The juveniles were then taken into custody and charged with Loitering and Prowling.

After placing the subjects in the rear of the patrol car, the deputy located a face mask a short distance from where the subjects were stopped. In the same area he located two GPS systems lying in the grass.
