Men charged in theft of 90 big TVs

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, September 12, 2008 - 7:46 a.m.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) _ Two men are charged with stealing 90 big screen TVs and two trucks from a warehouse in Fond du Lac County.

Twenty-five-year-old Daryl Thornton and 20-year-old Anthony McKenzie are accused in a burglary at the Silica Appliance Warehouse in Malone in August 2007. A third man is in custody, but not in Fond du Lac County.

A criminal complaint says investigators developed information about the suspects after recovering 15 TVs at the home of a Milwaukee man. Then they used cell phone records to establish a link between the suspects near the warehouse.

Preliminary hearings for Thornton and McKenzie are scheduled next Friday.

Maybe they were just trying to get set for the big switch to digital broadcasting.

snowfether, both men have prior records. Thornton was before the court for armed robbery when he was 18.
.
This was probably not a job they coordinated themselves.

It is often said, "There is no such thing as a smart criminal."
