Hours after the burglaries were discovered, a police officer spotted a knife allegedly
stolen from one of the businesses on a suspicious person with whom he had made contact. Detectives say that they were able to confirm that the knife was an item stolen
from the Eagle Talon Sharp store inside the mall. That led to several leads
and charges on six local juveniles. Five juveniles ranging in ages from 12 to 15-years-old have been arrested - while one 17-year-old still remains at large. All the juveniles are from Titusville, Florida.
Most of the property that was stolen from the businesses has been
