A family returned from vacation April 21 to their Pickering Drive home to find a window pried open and $6,700 worth of their belongings missing.
A few days later, detectives arrested the family’s adopted daughter, 22-year-old Megan Melissa Boyle, for the crime, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release.
The family had said she moved out of the house April 4, but a neighbor saw her leaving it while they were gone, and detectives discovered that she’d pawned some of the stolen goods — which included a Kel-Tec 9mm handgun, a Winchester 12 gauge shotgun, jewelry, power tools, two flat-screen TVs and a Nintendo Wii — at Leah’s Pawn Shop and Palm Coast Pawn and Jewelry.
A Florida pawnbroker transaction form for the stolen items had Boyle’s thumbprint on it, according to the news release.
Detectives arrested Boyle April 23 on charges of armed burglary, grand theft from a dwelling, two counts of dealing in stolen property and two counts of false verification of ownership.
She is being held at the Flagler County jail on $19,500 bond, according to the news release.
