Co-defendants, Scott Henrie, 34, of the 4500 block of Harris Drive, and Sean Fitzpatrick, 47, of the 500 block of Bounty Drive, each are charged with theft/unauthorized control with intent, between $100,000 and $500,000; aggravated unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle valued at more than $25,000; possession of three-plus vehicles/parts within a year that were stolen or converted; and theft of stolen property with intent to deprive, between $100,000 and $500,000, according to the criminal complaints.
