OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Three teens arrested via warrant in Osceola County are accused of burglarizing several businesses and vehicles, according to the sheriff’s office.

Two of the suspects are boys — 16 and 17 years old — while the third was identified as 18-year-old Johnuel Lugo-Sanchez, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Between Dec. 23, 2024, and Jan. 5, deputies responded to multiple burglaries allegedly performed by Lugo-Sanchez and the two juveniles, the release states.

They were said to have broken into two smoke shops, five vehicles and a nail salon, according to the release, adding it was found during the investigation “that most of the suspects who committed these crimes had also committed an armed robbery” at a smoke shop along N. John Young Parkway.

Lugo-Sanchez was arrested on Jan. 8 and faces charges of robbery with a firearm, petit theft and aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, according to the Osceola County Clerk of Court.

Anyone with information related to the burglaries or of any similar incidents is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 407-348-2222.
