Just over month ago we brought the story of an A-T-M being stolen out of a parking lot with a backhoe. Thirty-seven year old Michael Rasior was one of the three men arrested for the crime.
He recently got out of jail, but it doesn’t seem like he learned his lesson. “Back in July when the ATM was stolen from here in Frankfort down off Riley road this is one of the three suspects that was involved” explains Sheriff Melton.
This time hitting up the Jericho Gas N’ Go in Frankfort stealing lottery tickets, cigarettes and whatever else he could get his hands on. So how did he get catch? Well of concerned citizens a well known social media outlet called Facebook. “We had four tips come in within thirty five minutes as a result of that and all four of those tips came back to that one individual.”
Right now Raisor is charged with one count of burglary but Sheriff officials say that could change. They are investigating four more burglaries that Raisor might possibly be linked to.
