An affidavit of probable cause filed with the complaint reports three burglaries in Treasure Lake that were reported to the Sandy Township Police. The burglaries occurred at Silverwoods Condos on April 16, 2009, and November 25, 2009, and at Cayman Landing campground on December 23, 2009. Furniture and electronic items with a total value of $7,280.00 were stolen from Silverwoods. A coin-operated children’s animal ride valued at $650.00 was stolen from Cayman Landing.
