COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — William Collins, 32, was arrested by detectives after a CCSO investigation finds connections to a vehicle burglar in May.
“This individual’s numerous crimes finally caught up with him thanks to excellent investigative work by our detectives,” Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk said.
Collins was arrested on nearly two dozen fraud and theft-related charges.
According to Detectives, Collins broke into a vehicle in a Bonita Springs community and stole multiple credits card from a woman’s car.
Surveillance video showed that Collins went on a shopping spree to Walmart, Lowe’s and Home Depot. He also attempted to transfer $350 to his Venmo account from the victim’s debit cart.
A $900 gold necklace, matching bracelet, and a $450 TV were purchased with the victim’s cards. Further investigation found that Collins pawned the gold set.
Collins is a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history of fraud in Collier County. He was already in the Collier County jail on similar charges when detectives served him with 21 new charges Thursday.
Detectives said additional charges are pending from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office for the vehicle burglary.
