The victim, 46, suffered severe injuries, including broken bones in his arm, hand, and face. He was flown to Orange Regional Medical Center for treatment. He was last listed in stable condition.
While on scene, deputies located and identified the suspected car burglars as 16-year-old Chase Tyler Wood, 16-year-old Wesley Carlson, and 14-year-old Natalie Lauryn Eubanks.
