Englewood East man charged in theft
ENGLEWOOD EAST — Charlotte County Sheriff’s detectives arrested an Englewood East man Monday for burglarizing a home, stealing a box of silverware, and pawning it. Arrested was Robert Daniel Brock, 27, of the 10300 block of Oceanspray Boulevard. CCSO received a call Oct. 8 from a woman who reported her home had been burglarized in the 7000 block of Sunnybrook Boulevard in Englewood East. She said her box of 56-piece sterling silverware inscribed with a D had been stolen. She and her husband received the silverware decades ago as a wedding gift. Detectives checked the Pawn Finder system and located the silverware with a D that had been pawned Oct. 8 by Brock at a broker on South McCall Road. Detectives obtained the paperwork with a copy of Brock’s driver’s license and thumb print. He received $510 cash from the pawn shop.
Detectives located Brock, who said a man named Jonathan asked him to pawn the silverware but could not identify him. He then requested a lawyer. Brock was arrested and charged with grand theft, dealing in stolen property, and giving false verification of ownership. Brock was also on probation from a previous arrest and was additionally charged with violation of probation. He was transported to the Charlotte County Jail, where he remains on no bond.
