Detectives found all stolen items at Gold Pro's in the Port Charlotte Town Center Mall. They were allegedly sold by Frink the same day the burglary.
But Frink could not be located. At 11:22 p.m. Monday night a road deputy made a traffic stop on a 2012 Dodge car with the tag light out. The driver was Frink. He was taken to the Charlotte County Jail on $65,000 bond.
The investigation continues. Frink has not been charged with burglary to the home.
