Stolen gun turns car break-in into armed robbery

MIDDLEBURG – A 21-year-old elevated a car break-in charge into an armed robbery when the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said she took two handguns from the center console of a car.

In addition to armed robbery, Kylie Lynn Kneessi, of Middleburg, was charged with six other burglaries and altering the serial number from a firearm after deputies were called to a home on T Square Court in Middleburg about car burglary.

CCSO gathered intelligence and issued a bulletin on Kneessi for an armed robbery of a business. A deputy saw her at a convenience store on Feb. 9, and the deputy followed her to a shed behind a house. After getting permission to search the shed from Kneessi’s mother, the deputy found a handgun in a microwave. A search for the serial number of the gun in the shed was traced back to the weapon stolen from the car, CCSO said. The serial number on the second gun was altered.

Kneessi’s bond was set at $200,012.
