Three men were in the fast lane to jail Friday night accused of using the interstate as their road to riches. More than a year ago Tampa police and Hillsborough county deputies started working a string of burglaries. Deputies said they followed 26 year old Luis Gomez, 28 year old John Rodriguez, and another unidentified man from Tampa to an Alachua county neighborhood located about a five minute drive from the freeway. Investigators said the men targeted middle to upper class neighborhoods where they believed they would find a payday indoors.

"Their typical mode of operation was they were looking for jewelry, stuff that they could carry out in their pockets not large stuff and from what I understand the loot to date has been over a million and a half dollars," said Art Forgey with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
