Arrests Made In String Of FishHawk Auto Burglaries

LITHIA, FL — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people accused of burglarizing multiple vehicles in FishHawk Ranch this week.

Between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 5:30 a.m. Thursday, at least three people broke into cars, stealing credit cards and other personal items before fleeing in a stolen 2013 maroon Ford Edge with the Florida tag 060YRG.

Two people, a man and woman, were later captured on surveillance video using the stolen credit cards at the Bloomingdale and Gibsonton Walmarts

They left the Bloomingdale Walmart in a black, two-door Infiniti G35. Detectives were able to link the Infiniti to Wesley Gussman and went to an address in Riverview that they had on file for him. They found Gussman and Alicia Fisher, who matched the surveillance video, at the home.

Both admitted to being involved in the vehicle burglaries. When detectives searched the Infiniti and Gussman's bedroom, they found multiple items stolen during the burglaries.

Gussman and Fisher were arrested and charged with burglary of a conveyance, unauthorized use of a credit card, grand theft and possession of a controlled substance (Xanax).

Detectives are still searching for the third person involved.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.
