More charges came Monday for one of four South Lee teenagers accused of breaking into parked vehicles and stealing valuables in Lee and Collier counties.
Collier County deputies arrested Natasha Grass, 19, in connection with three vehicle break-ins in North Naples parking lots. Deputies allege the Bonita Springs teenager stole radar detectors and GPS devices after smashing several vehicle windows on May 25.
With the new charges, Grass now stands accused of 15 vehicle burglaries between Lee and Collier counties.
She was originally arrested May 26, with co-defendents Scott Shaw, 18; Michael Lowrance, 18; and Christian McAlister, 16, following a botched burglary of a car parked in a driveway in San Carlos Park. According to the arrest report, the four teenagers confessed to a string of 11 break-ins over a two-week period in May. In June, deputies again arrested the four after linking them to a twelfth burglary.
Each break-in was similar--vehicle windows were smashed to access valuables left laying on car seats, including CD players and radar detectors.
Collier deputies used the teenagers' earlier confessions to link Grass to the North Naples burglaries. A witness of one of the burglaries also identified Grass in a photo lineup, and some of the stolen goods in the teens' possession matched the items stolen from the North Naples vehicles.
Only Grass has been arrested for those burglaries, although, according to her arrest report, Collier County deputies requested warrants for three other unnamed suspects.
Grass is charged with one felony count of vehicle burglary and two misdemeanor counts for petty theft and criminal mischief for the North Naples burglaries.
The break-ins occurred May 25 at Naples Tomato, 14700 U.S. 41 N.; P.F. Chang's, 10840 U.S. 41 N.; and Expo Design Center, 1000 Immokalee Road.

Yup, this is the girl who robbed my son's GPS at PF Chang's parking lot on the 25th. She owes me $120 for a busted window that I got replaced for him. I wonder how they found out it was her.

She is still young. Made some pretty bad dicisions. Still has potential and more than enough time to overcome and make things right. Should be held responsible for damages and lost, but maybe she'll take responsiblity rather than just accept it.

I don't see remorse in her eyes Jack.
But I hope you're right.

At first I thought she was kinda hot. I checked her out on the on the sheriff's arrest log and unfortunately she weighed in at 275(5'3".) Still not bad though if you are into the super mega big sumo type girls.
