On April 13, 2010, the Sheriff’s Office formed a burglary task force in response to an ongoing problem with vehicle and residential burglaries. 
 
On April 16, task force members received information regarding individuals who were dealing in large amounts of stolen property. Subsequent investigation led to arrest warrants for five individuals and search warrants for three residences.
 
The warrants were executed this morning at the following residences with the subjects listed below charged with Trafficking in Stolen Property.
    
    -215 60th Ave. Dr. W., Bradenton; Marco Tulio Alverado, DOB 11-      1-84; Christopher Heraldo Galdamez, DOB 8-7-89

Over 400 suspected stolen items have been recovered from the three residences with an estimated value of approximately $150,000.  The items include big screen televisions, iPods, GPS devises, computers and jewelry.
 
Detectives believe the stolen items were being shipped to Mexico where they were being resold.  The investigation continues with additional arrests and charges forthcoming.  Since the beginning of the task force, 35 individuals have been arrested with a total of 76 burglary related charges.
