4 Members of All-Female Crime Ring Sentenced

Four members of an all-female crime ring have been sentenced following a two-week crime spree last year involving more than 30 burglaries, Sarasota authorities said Wednesday.

The women were arrested in November 2012 and charged with breaking into homes throughout Sarasota to fund their prescription drug addictions, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. 

The women were accused of targeting homes in the Southgate and stealing cash as well as jewelry and coins, which they told investigators they sold to pawn brokers to fund their Oxycodone addictions.

This group was suspected of more than 30 burglaries that were investigated by both the sheriff's office and the Sarasota Police Department.

The women have been sentenced for a variety of charges:

Caroline Catarzi, 21, pleaded guilty to 14 burglaries plus six counts of dealing in stolen property and providing false information to a pawn broker. She received a 10-year prison sentence with one year community control and four years of drug offender probation.

Alyssa Conrad, 23, pleaded guilty to 14 burglaries plus eight counts of dealing in stolen property and providing false information to a pawn broker. She received a 10-year prison sentence with one year community control and four years of drug offender probation.

Samantha Smith, 19, pleaded guilty to seven burglary charges plus four counts of dealing in stolen property and providing false information to a pawn broker. She received a four-year prison sentence and 10 years of probation.

Brandy Kinney, 19, pleaded guilty to six burglary charges and was sentenced to just under a year in jail with four years of probation.
