Deputies Say Burglary Foiled When Getaway Truck Gets Stuck In Mud

LAND O' LAKES, FL -- A getaway by accused burglars was foiled when their U-Haul truck got stuck in the mud.

According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, 26-year-old Dylan Walsh and 48-year-old Michelle Massenburg backed a U-Haul box truck up to a building on Hawks Landing Drive in Land O' Lakes during the early-morning hours of Feb. 27 and started removing about $3,500 cabinets through the garage door.

They then drove away but the truck got stuck in the mud and they abandoned it. They were arrested when they came back to the scene to retrieve some items from the truck. Detectives believe a third person was involved in the burglary as well.

They have been charged with burglary and grand theft.
