At approximately 7:00 a.m. on Monday, September 11, 2017, deputies responded to an alarm call for Pawn Depot 2 located at 5198 34^th Street North in St. Petersburg. Upon arriving, deputies assessed the scene and determined that the business had been broken into.

Through various investigative techniques, the suspects were identified as 31-year-old James Ruttencutter, 18-year-old Tyler Harris, and 21-year-old Kevin Guthrie.

Detectives arrested all three suspects on October 5, 2017, and the stolen items were recovered, except for the two firearms. Detectives were informed by the suspects that the firearms were sold on the streets.
