Five people face dozens of charges following their arrest for a string of vehicle burglaries and drug possession in Lehigh Acres, according to officials.

The break-ins occurred in the Sunshine Boulevard area and were halted when one of the victims caught the thieves rummaging through her car.

Family members of the victim chased after and caught one of the suspects, holding him until Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived.

Deputies rounded up the other two suspects in short order.

Kegan Boyle, 18, and Kelly Dewayne Wells, 19, both of 6140 Holt Court, Fort Myers, each face over 30 counts of burglary, grand theft and dealing in stolen property.

Christian Tezekjian, 19, of 2911 W. 65th St. – the alleged lookout – faces one count each of burglary and grand theft.

Through their investigation, detectives learned that the suspects were taking their stolen property to a couple of acquaintances.

Detectives secured a search warrant for the residence at 3205 W. 72nd St.

During the search warrant, detectives recovered stolen property from recent burglaries in Lehigh, including tools and a custom remote control racing boat.

Detectives also located narcotics packaged for sale, including 38 grams of cocaine, 130 Xanax pills and 240 grams of marijuana. There was also a small amount of marijuana in a form called “shatter,” which is an extremely potent type of THC.

Two tactical rifles and $2,000 cask were also seized.

Two residents inside the home were arrested. Jacob Kluch, 19, and Samuel Wayne Jones, 22, each face drug possession charges and could face additional charges as the investigation continues.
