Hours before Friday’s Orange & Blue Debut, three men snuck into the Gators locker room and tried to steal two jerseys, according to University Police reports.
At about 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jeremy Bruce Agee, 24, of Ocala; Stephen Paul Collazo, 35, of Gainesville; and Reagan Harrison Dean, 21, of Ocala, snuck inside the locker room at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, according to the reports.
Once inside, the men grabbed two jerseys valued at about $200 each, according to the reports.
It is unknown how the men entered the area or which jerseys they took.
However, before they could escape with the souvenirs, UPD noticed the men on surveillance cameras and arrested the would-be thieves, according to the reports.
About 20 minutes after the break-in, the men were in handcuffs, according to the reports.
Police arrested all three on felony charges of burglary and grand theft.
Authorities took them to the Alachua County Jail, where they were each released Saturday on $10,000 bonds.
None of the men are affiliated with the university, UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes wrote in an email.
As of press time, the men could not be reached for comment.
