## Resource

A 36-year-old man, Christerful Ray Bryant Jr., was arrested in Phoenix after pulling off a brazen Tractor Supply store heist using stolen identities — snagging a $4,200 lawn mower and trailer, then vanishing. License plate readers tracked his dark Jeep on I-17, leading investigators to documents hinting at a larger fraud network spanning Arizona and California. Surveillance caught the getaway, but the female accomplice and stolen gear remain at large. Bryant now faces multiple charges, including identity theft and fraud — authorities urge anyone with tips to come forward.
