Two Crestview teenagers have been charged in connection with a rash of area burglaries.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrested 16-year-old Devon Moore and 17-year-old Nkosi Seals. The teens face multiple counts ranging from grand theft of a motor vehicle to armed burglary and criminal mischief.
The pair was spotted by an OCSO deputy responding to a 9-1-1 call from a burglary victim in Baker around 2:30 a.m. July 25, according to an OCSO media release.
Moore was found to be in possession of a stolen firearm from Pensacola, according to the release.
Investigators say subsequent interviews and confessions linked Moore and Seals to many more burglaries in the area and vehicle thefts across Northwest Florida, including car burglaries on Lena Street and Blue Springs Cove in Baker.
Seals is also charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
