Winnebago Thief Who Wrote Bad Check Caught
A Winnebago RV that was stolen from Lazydays in Seffner, Fla., has been found in Broward County.
This story originally appeared on WFLA News 8.
Deputies said 59-year-old Robert Schneider wrote a bad $246,445.51 check to the RV dealership to buy the 2014 Winnebago back in June. Last week, deputies issued a warrant for his arrest.
Detectives received a tip about the case after pictures of the stolen Winnebago were posted online and aired on the news.
On Friday night, authorities found the Winnebago in an RV park in Oakland Park. Schneider was also found and arrested in Broward County, not far from the RV park.
Hillsborough deputies said managers at Lazydays will pick up the Winnebago from an impound lot in Broward County.
Schneider is waiting to be extradited back to Hillsborough County. Deputies say he will be held on a $150,000 bond for first-degree grand theft.
