SYRACUSE - Three suspects are in custody for allegedly burglarizing a Syracuse business Tuesday.

The three men are accused of breaking into Jack's Village Video, Huntington Street, Syracuse, and taking cash, videos and games. Police are continuing the investigation and reportedly think there may be a tie between this incident and several others in the area.

Anthony Michael Hoover, 18, of 414 E. Medusa St., Syracuse, was booked into Kosciusko County Jail and charged with criminal mischief, theft/receiving stolen property, and possession of paraphernalia.

Dustin Cordell Boggs, 18, of 11794 Robin Hood Road, Cromwell, was also booked on the same three charges. Brandon J. Hoffman, 18, of 303 E. Palm Drive, Syracuse, was booked on a charge of theft/receiving stolen property. Bond for each man was set at $250.

The three were found after a Syracuse man reported people in a car hit his mailbox on East Shore Drive Tuesday afternoon. Police searched for the car, and a Syracuse police officer pulled it over on Palm Drive.

The suspects were taken back to the scene of the damaged mailbox, where a witness allegedly identified the car as the one that pulled up to the mailbox. A passenger then allegedly hit the mailbox with a club.

Police reported they found a club in the car as well as a bag containing what appeared to be a glass marijuana pipe.

Dep. Travis C. Marsh reported he opened the glove box of the car and found a money bag with cash in it. In the trunk, he reportedly found cases, tapes, games, and another cash bag that all allegeldy contained markings from Jack's Village Video.

A 16-year-old Syracuse girl who was with the three suspects was taken back to Wawasee High School and reported for truancy.

Marsh also reported he found allegedly found a video game system, tapes, and games in Boggs' house.

Two other Syracuse businesses reported attempted break-ins Tuesday morning, and Marsh is continuing his investigation. [[In-content Ad]]
