Fugitive Wanted in 26 Philly Burglaries Arrested at Kissimmee Resort

U.S. Marshals arrested Ravon Service, a man wanted for nearly 30 burglaries in Philadelphia, at the Encore Resort in Kissimmee on Friday. The 31-year-old was taken into custody by agents from the Florida/Caribbean Task Force while staying at the luxury resort located within the Reunion community.

Wanted Across Multiple States

According to officials with the U.S. Marshals Service, Service is accused of committing 26 commercial burglaries across south and northeastern Philadelphia. The arrests were made in connection with warrants that extend beyond Pennsylvania's largest city. Authorities confirmed that Service was also sought by law enforcement agencies in New Jersey and Georgia.

Additionally, the fugitive faced outstanding issues in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. While specific details regarding the timeline of these alleged crimes have not been fully disclosed, the breadth of the warrant indicates a significant cross-jurisdictional investigation led by federal marshals working alongside local police departments.

The Arrest at Reunion

The capture took place in one of Central Florida’s most prominent tourist destinations. The Encore Resort at Reunion is situated near major theme parks and attractions that draw millions of visitors annually to the Orlando area. Service's presence at this location brought him into contact with Marshals who had been tracking his movements across state lines, as this newspaper reported in Kissimmee Man Arrested on I.

Local Impact in Kissimmee

Kissimmee, located just south of Orange County along U.S. Highway 192 and Interstate 4, is a hub for tourism-related real estate and hospitality services. The arrest highlights the reach of federal law enforcement operations within popular vacation spots like Reunion.

Details regarding when Service allegedly committed these commercial break-ins remain sparse in official reports released so far. It also remains unclear whether he was wanted for identical crimes in New Jersey and Georgia or if those warrants relate to separate incidents not detailed by Marshals at this time.
