“She was the driver, said Sheriff Sgt. Greg Tita. “She pointed out the houses. She is the one who said ‘Do these.”

Sipe, 38, of 2333 State Road 584, was charged with two counts of being a principal in burglary. She was held Thursday in lieu of $20,000 bail. 3 to last

She called 911. As she waited for deputies, other neighbors saw the boys walk through a nearby neighborhood carrying bags.(2)

 “They were very well-prepared to do burglaries, especially with the guidance they were given,” Tita said. A Palm harbor woman saw a large, yellow car driving by a woman drop off three boys, he said. The three went to the back of her house. (3)

They acted like professional criminals, but officials say they were teenage burglars coached and directed by a Palm Harbor woman whose son and daughter were part of her gang. (4)

They carried knapsacks and bags to tote loot. They had a screwdriver to pry open doors and windows.(6)

They put on gloves and started to pry open a window with a screwdriver, she said. When she tapped on a window, they ran. (7)

The only evidence was a pair of latex gloves. (8)

Deputies chased the boys and caught two. The third got into a large yellow car driven by a woman.

Charles Ruhe, 17, of 1600 Ensley Ave., in Safety Harbor, and Charles Taylor, 16 of 348 Jeru Blvd. in Tarpon Springs, also were held on four counts of burglary each. 2 to last

Tita said the boys, later identified as Taylor and Ruhe, told the detectives about other burglaries in Dunedin and Clearwater and who else was involved.

At Sipe’s house, detectives found stolen televisions, camcorders and other valuables. They arrested the other two teens and Sipe.

The bags contained jewelry, a shotgun and other items deputies say were taken from another house in the neighborhood.
