a social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cAs you can see in the surveillance footage, they discovered that Alfio Nocifora had a crappy plan to steal a septic tank on February 22 with his 2013 Toyota Corolla,\u201d the post states. <\/p>\n
The attempt failed when a Jeep Cherokee arrived at the scene and, according to the sheriff\u2019s office, Nocifora fled. He then returned the next day with a rented U-Haul truck and successfully loaded the septic tank and about $2,500 worth of electrical pipe.<\/p>\n
Deputies said Nocifora covered the U-Haul license plate and identification number with tape. A detective later identified him, obtained an arrest warrant, and deputies located him in Citrus County, where he was taken into custody, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
Nocifora faces charges of grand theft, unlawful use of a two-way device, and intentionally obscuring a license plate during the commission of a crime. <\/p>\n
Deputies did not immediately say whether the septic tank or pipe was recovered.<\/p>\n
