Alleged Save-A-Lot Burglars Charged
Charges have been filed against two men accused of breaking into Save-A-Lot on Forman Street on April 7.
21-year-old Axle Tankersley and 22-year-old Ouinton Mills, both of Bradford, are each charged with burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, both felonies. They are also facing misdemeanor theft and conspiracy charges.
Bradford City Police Chief Chris Lucco says the photo of one of the suspects that was released to the media last week “received an enormous response, which solidified the department’s feeling that the suspect in the photo was Axle Tankersley.”
Lucco says while serving a search warrant at Tankersley last known address to look for evidence of the crime, officers discovered evidence to link the residence to another recent burglary at Matthews Services Station, where tools and other miscellaneous items had been stolen.
He says after Tankersley was taken into custody he cooperated with police and provided a detailed account of the events, including the identity of Mills.
Tankersley is jailed on $35,000 bail. Mills is in custody, but has not been arraigned yet (as of 4:29 p.m.).
“I personally thank members of the public for coming forward with information that helped solve this case,” Lucco said. “I would also like to commend the officers of my department for their diligence in bringing closure to this incident."
