PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) - Peoria police announced Thursday the arrests of 4 people accused of stealing dozens of pool vacuums.
Between June 1, 2009 and Dec. 28, 2009, police say the suspects were burglarizing homes in Peoria and Glendale, stealing numerous pool vacuums.
They allegedly sold them on Craig's list for 1/4 of the retail price.
In Peoria, police say approximately 60 pool vacuums have been stolen for a total of over $27,000.
Police managed to recover 27 stolen pool vacuums.
All four suspects were booked on 19 felony counts including trafficking in stolen property, possession of a forged instrument, possession of stolen property and drug violations.
To make it easier to recover, police suggest you engrave your home address on the pool vacuum.
