It was all on the list
The Nov. 12 robbery of the local Badcock Store ended in a faster-than-expected arrest when neighboring police found break-in equipment and a list of robbery sites still in the suspects’ vehicle.
According to Bartow Police Department arrest reports, a concrete landscaping edger was thrown through the front window of the store at 1350 N. Broadway; the broken window reported about 7:15 a.m. by a witness at an adjacent business.
