Two individuals have been apprehended for pilfering construction materials valued at over $30,000 from Tampa Pavement Constructors, situated at 5414 North 56th Street, as per the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department.
Supervisors observed a 52-year-old employee, Antonio Vargas Bravo, loading approximately $1,600 worth of paving materials onto a truck before departing. Deputies later conducted a traffic stop and identified the driver as 54-year-old Roberto Zaldivar Dominguez, who had left the property.
Bravo admitted to the theft, disclosing that it occurred on both October 11 and 12, amounting to an estimated total of $30,000 in stolen items.
“I am grateful to the employees at Tampa Pavement Constructors who were vigilant and then reported a crime when they saw it happening,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “These two individuals will soon pay the consequences for the materials they stole.”
Both Bravo and Dominguez have been arrested and charged with dealing in stolen property. Bravo is facing an additional charge of second-degree grand theft.
The investigation is still in progress.
