The three suspects were later found by deputies in Nocatee’s nearby Austin Park neighborhood, and were taken into custody for questioning. Officers also located a backpack that allegedly contained property from a vehicle burglary at a residence in the 600 block of Battlegate Lane.District detectives continued the investigation and located additional alleged stolen property from Lulloff’s home, including several sets of keys that have not been identified. Detectives are asking Ponte Vedra residents – particularly in the Walden Chase, Florentine and Nocatee communities – to contact the sheriff’s office if they are missing keys or other property from vehicles within the past two weeks.
