On August 20, 2016, Port St. Lucie Police was contacted by a Brevard County Deputy that the deputy found wallets along the road at US 1 near Valkeria in Melbourne, belonging to persons living at Harbor Place Assisted Living facility, located at 3700 SE Jennings Road in Port St. Lucie. A subsequent investigation revealed that there had been 6 burglaries where wallets, identifications and other property was stolen from victims living at Harbor Place.
Port St. Lucie Police Detective Pete Chunn followed up on the case and discovered that on August 19, 2016, two suspects were seen at CVS located on US 1 in Fort Pierce using a credit card from one of the victims at Harbor Place.
