Equipment Stolen from Youth Football Team

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary at the Thonotosassa Football Complex, located at 10115 Main Street.

At some point between 8:40 p.m. on July 30, 2020, and 8:30 a.m. on August 1, 2020, an unidentified suspect(s) entered an unoccupied structure that houses football equipment at the Thonotosassa Football Complex. The suspect(s) cut a combination padlock which secured an interior room containing additional equipment. Approximately 25 shoulder pads and 10 football helmets were removed. The stolen equipment is valued at more than $2,500. The equipment was privately owned.

"The stolen equipment is used by a youth football league," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "They are left not only wondering who is responsible for this crime but also trying to figure out how they will participate in a sport that they love."

The complex did not have security cameras. Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200.
