Steven McKimm, 19, of 3620 Elfers Parkway, and Michael Herrera, 18, of 5025 Brookside Drive, both of New Port Richey, along with two 17-year-old males, were charged with grand theft for taking numerous computers, printers, scanners and copy machines from the Century 21 office at 4208 Little Road in New Port Richey. The four wanted to sell the items for cash to bail a friend out of jail, according to a deputy's report. The two juveniles, apprehended May 15 by Pasco sheriff's deputies, were processed at the Juvenile Assessment Center. The juveniles's names are being withheld because of their ages. McKimm and Herrera were held Tuesday at the county jail in Land O'Lakes in lieu of $11,500 and $34,000 bails, respectively. Deputies recovered $20,000 worth of the stolen office equipment.
