The suspects would wait until the workers were out of sight and then allegedly steal as much lawn equipment as they could from the landscape trucks and trailers. Police said the suspects would also steal the entire landscape truck and trailer if the keys were left in the vehicle.
Leon Lindsey and Levi Lindsey, 25-year-old twin brothers from Detroit, were charged and arraigned on Sept. 23.
After their arrest, police executed a search warrant at their home in Detroit—where they found about 50 allegedly stolen items of law equipment. Detectives are working to identify ownership of the suspected stolen items.
The complaint, authorized by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, outlined 23 felony charges, including conducting a criminal enterprise—a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Leon was given a $150,000 cash bond. Levi was given a $100,000 cash bond. Their Preliminary Examinations are scheduled for Oct. 09, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. in the Harper Woods 32-A District Court.
