Following a thorough months-long investigation, the joint Property Crimes Task Force (PCTF), comprised of the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) and the Leon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), arrested two suspects in connection to more than 100 vehicle burglaries and vehicle thefts in Leon County this year.
Tallahassee Reports recently reported about the spike in auto related crime incidents. TR’s 4-week trend analysis (as of Oct 12) showed a 35% spike in property crime incidents driven by auto related property crimes when compared to the same 4-week period in 2023.
Beginning in July, detectives with the Property Crimes Task Force launched a meticulous investigation after receiving multiple reports of vehicle burglaries and thefts throughout Tallahassee and Leon County. During the investigation, detectives determined two suspects were stealing vehicles in northwest Tallahassee and driving them to various neighborhoods to burglarize vehicles.
As the investigation progressed, on Oct. 30, officers responded to the 300 block of Hayden Road regarding a suspect actively breaking into vehicles. Due to their quick and coordinated response, officers quickly located the suspect, 16-year-old Ta’Marion Little, and took him into custody. The subsequent investigation revealed Little was connected to a spree of vehicle burglaries and thefts in recent months, totaling over 130 cases between July and October. Additionally, detectives identified the second suspect, 20-year-old Jayquan Duncan, and took him into custody on Nov. 6.
Both Little and Duncan were charged with more than 130 counts of burglary of a conveyance unarmed, several counts of grand theft of a motor vehicle, and additional offenses.

Hopefully there is an auto mechanics class in prison. They have a talent to take cars apart. IF they learn to put them back together, they can work at the Ford dealership. They would fit right in with the service writer who showed me a dirty cabin air filter that “badly needed replacing.” The only problem was that a 2013 Ford F150 King Ranch does not have an cabin air filter.
Our “under-privileged” youth do not seem to be getting ahead with all the tax-payer funded programs thrown at them. Maybe society would be better served getting tough on crime, instead. Why are jail inmates laying around watching television all day instead of working cleaning up the community? Maybe cut back on the “free stuff” welfare queen moms are getting and make getting a job more appealing. Either way, the problems in the black community are not improving.
It’s always the last ones you’d expect.
Well the lil Dindus been really busy.
