Three men are facing charges in connection with a widespread theft ring targeting commercial vehicles in several Florida counties.

On April 4, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) announced the arrest of three men believed to have taken part in the theft of multiple semi trucks and dump trucks valued at over $6 million.

For months, the HCSO’s Auto Theft Unit has investigated the commercial vehicle theft ring, and they say that the suspects are linked to thefts as far back as September 2024, taking place in  Hillsborough, Polk, Hernando, Pasco, Sarasota, and Pinellas counties.

See below for the suspects and charges:

Rayge Sanchez:

• Grand Theft $100,000 or More (x5)
• Rico Conspiracy or Endeavor

Christian Garcia Diaz:

• Grand Theft $100,000 or More (x5)
• Rico Conspiracy or Endeavor

Jose Nuñez:

• Grand Theft $100,000 or More (x7)
• Rico Conspiracy or Endeavor

“These weren’t just stolen trucks; these were critical tools for businesses, livelihoods for families, and key components of infrastructure projects across our region,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Thanks to the relentless work of our Auto Theft Unit and our partners at the Statewide Prosecutor’s Office, we’ve stopped a major criminal enterprise that was taking from those who help drive our economy forward.”
