WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF STOLEN
ITEMS ALL THROUGHOUT THIS
PROPERTY IN THE BACK YARD IN
THE SIDE YARD IN THE FRONT
YARD.
SOME ITEMS EVEN STASHED IN THE
ATTIC ACCORDING TO OFFICERS.
THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF POLICE
HERE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE
HOME DOING THEIR INVESTIGATION.
THEY HAVE BEEN HERE ALL
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THEY
TELL ME THAT THAT FENCE BACK
THERE WAS PROBABLY USED TO HIDE
THE STOLEN PROPERTY AND NOW IT
APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE SOLVED
SEVERAL CASES.
THIS DUSTY LITTLE STREET MIGHT
BE THE BUSIEST ROAD IN
JACKSONVILLE TODAY.
CHECK OUT THIS TRAFFIC.
ALL THESE TRUCKS FILLED WITH
PEOPLE PICKING UP THEIR STOLEN
PROPERTY.
WE LOST 2 TRAILERS.
SOME ROLL UP DOORS.
SOME SMALLER EQUIPMENT.
A LIFT.
MAN JUST ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
THINGS.
ICE MACHINE PARTS.
Reporter: POLICE ARRESTED
THE TWO MEN WHO LIVED HERE.
GUY GEORGE AND JAMES WALKER.
JSO DETECTIVE SEARCHED THIS
PROPERTY AFTER GETTING A TIP
THAT A150,000 DOLLAR MOBILE TV
TRAILER STOLEN FROM PRI
PRODUCTIONS WAS HERE.
WE SHOWED YOU THE SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO WHEN IT HAPPENED LAST
WEEK.
OFFICERS FOUND IT BEHIND THIS
FENCE GUTTED AND SCRAPPED AND
HUNDREDS OF OTHER POSSIBLY
STOLEN ITEMS.
WE ARE JUST TAKING THE
INVESTIGATION SLOW.
THERE'S A LOT OF ITEMS TO BE
INCONVENIENT TIRED AND REVIEWED
AND COMPARED TO REPORTS BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF ITEMS THAT
WERE REPORTED STOLEN THAT
NOBODY HAD SERIAL NUMBERS TO.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF
THERE'S ANY REPORT RELATEED TO
THAT ITEM DESCRIPTION AND SEE
IF WE CAN GET IT RETURNED BACK
TO THE VICTIM.
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
I JUST WALKING AROUND AND
SEEING ALL THIS STUFF THAT
BELONGS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
Reporter: PRI PRODUCTION
OWNER CAME BY TO CHECK OUT THE
TRAILER THIS AFTERNOON.
HE SAYS IT'S DESTROYED.
TO WORK THAT HARD MAYBE THEY
SHOULD JUST GET A JOB.
THEY WORKED HARD TO DO WHAT
THEY ADDITION PEOPLE CAME TO
PICK UP THE STOLEN MOTORCYCLE.
LAWN MOWERS.
TRAILERS AND TOOLS.
MANY THANKED THE OFFICERS FOR
GETTING THEIR STUFF BACK.
APPRECIATE EVERYTHING DID
YOU.
NO PROBLEM THANK YOU.
GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME
BACK.
E-NOW BOTH OF THOSE MEN REMAIN
IN JAIL TONIGHT.
VERY HIGH BOND CHARGED WITH
SEVERAL COUNTS OF GRAND THEM I
LOOKED INTO THEIR RAP SHEET AND
FOUND BOTH OF THEM HAVE FACED
DRUG CHARGES IN THE PAST AS
WELL AS BURGLARY AND THEFT
CHARGES.
BY THE WAY, THEY TOLD OFFICERS
THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
THESE THEFTS.
THAT IS IN THE POLICE REPORT
EVEN THOUGH THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS HELPED TURN THEM IN
WHEN DETECTIVES CAME TO
QUESTION THEM ABOUT THEIR
POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT.
SO FAR, THOUGH, POLICE TELL US
THEY HAVE BOTH OF THESE MEN IN
CUSTODY.
THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANY
ONE ELSE.
REPORTING LIVE ON THE EAST
SIDE, CHANNEL 4, THE LOCAL
STATION.
REMARKABLE.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE
PROPERTY?
Reporter: I HAVE ACTUALLY
BEEN TO THIS PROPERTY SEVERAL
TIMES IN THE PAST.
I HAVE INTERVIEWED THESE MEN
FAMILY MEMBERS AND ACTUALLY IN
2013 THERE WAS A TRAGEDY HERE.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU IN THE
DISTANCE THIS PROPERTY WHERE A
LOT OF THESE STOLEN ITEMS WERE
RECOVERED.
THERE USED TO BE A HOUSE THERE
AND POLICE SAY THAT SOME ONE
SET THAT HOUSE ON FIRE.
HIS NAME WAS JIMMY JACKSON AND
THERE WAS A 61-YEAR-OLD MAN
INSIDE NAMED CECIL NOT ABLE TO
GET OUT BECAUSE HAD HE A
DISABILITY.
UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED.
JACKSON WAS CHARGED WITH ARSON
AND MURDER.
HE IS NOW IN JAIL STILL WAITING
FOR HIS TRIAL.
SO THAT HAPPENED.
ACTUALLY WE AT CHANNEL 4 DID
SEVERAL STORIES AND HELPED THIS
FAMILY CLEAR THEIR PROPERTY AND
GET VOLUNTEERS TO GET SOME OF
THE RUBBLE OFF OF THEIR
PROPERTY, SO CERTAINLY A
DISTURBING AND DISAPPOINTING
TWIST HERE.
