LAND O’LAKES — Christopher McCormick, 40, of New Port Richey was arrested Thursday and charged with multiple counts of burglary and grand theft, among other charges.

Pasco deputies said he broke into at least five homes in Land O’Lakes and stole more than $10,000 worth of jewelry, tools and video equipment.

McCormick admitted breaking

into as many as 70 homes in the area, according to the arrest reports. He told deputies he traded the stolen goods to fuel his drug addiction.

McCormick is in the Land O’Lakes jail in lieu of $155,000 bail.
