Mystery in Mission Bay
A reader update on this story:
I heard from one of the neighbors that it started off as a drug bust. There were over eight sheriffs cars and blocked the street off from both ends. Then the guy got out of the house and the sheriffs chased him down outside the street. The whole thing went on for hour from 2 pm and they were still there at 9 pm. I saw them at 7.30pm.
Readers contacted us yesterday about an incident in the Mission Bay neighborhood. There were several PBSO vehicles and it appeared that at least two people were arrested. We have no tips regarding the woman pictured above, but readers tell us the man in the pictures is James “Jimmy” Leclerc.
We have been unable to confirm that Mr. Leclerc is involved, nor what the incident was about. Readers told us that it was a drug bust and/or that there was some kind of gun involved. We contacted the Sheriff and have gotten no answers. No arrests matching this incident have shown up in the blotter. Nor do we see any new cases in Broward or in federal court.
Mr. Leclerc does have a substantial history in the courts, including a fairly recent three year state prison sentence related to several charges including felony battery incidents in 2011 and 2013. He was released in January of this year. The address listed for him in that record doesn’t exist but it’s on La Salina Circle where this incident occurred.
Mr. Leclerc does have a recent case in Broward, arrested last week for a felony driving with a suspended license – habitual. Despite having just been released from prison only a few months earlier he was released after that arrest on only $750 bond. Keep in mind that he may still be on probation in Broward.
At around the same time there was an accident reported to us nearby on Glades at Diego. The pictures we got were blurry.
When we asked PBSO about that they described it as a hit-and-run that was under investigation. It’s unclear if this is related to the incident on La Salinas Circle.
If any of our readers have more information about this incident, please let us know. You can comment on this article, our Facebook page, or e-mail [email protected].
Recent Sales in Boca Reserve, Boca Falls, Loggers Run and Mission Bay

Many neighborhoods can be found here including Mission Bay, Boca Falls, Boca Winds, Kestrel Loggers’, Avalon, Vineyards, Boca Woods, Boca Lago, and Boca Dunes. The area is close to shopping and the South County Regional Park.
Boca Reserve
Boca Reserve is a gated community located off Palmetto Park Road, west of 441. The community has landscaped walkways and is close to shopping. Students go to Loggers’ Run Middle School and West Boca High School. We previously wrote about the development in 2014 and earlier in 2013.

The house at 12066 Boca Reserve Lane sold for $910,000. It has 4 bedrooms and 4 and half bathrooms. The total square footage is 5381 sq. feet. Some records indicate it was built in 2013, but we think it wasn’t really finished until this sale. The house has tile and wood flooring, impact glass windows and a resort style pool, fire pit and grill. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops and beautiful wood cabinets. There is a 3 car garage.
Another home at 12105 Boca Reserve Lane sold for $655,000. The home has 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Built in 2014, it is brand new and has a gourmet kitchen with quartz counter tops, a double oven, stainless steel appliances and wood floors.

The home at 21420 Gosier Way sold for $530,000. Located in the gated community of Boca Falls, it has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms in 2700 sq. feet of living space on one floor. The master bedroom and kitchen were recently remodeled. There is a screened patio and an in ground pool. The house was built in 1997. The previous owner took a hit, having paid $724K back in 2005.
This two story home at 21516 Halstead Drive sold for $550,000. The home has 6 bedroom and 3 full bathrooms in 3000 sq. feet of living space, also on one floor. The house features an oversized pool and spa overlooking a lake and a recently renovated kitchen with new appliances and granite counter tops. The bathrooms were recently renovated also. It was originally built in 1996. From the appraiser records this looks like it was a bank owned home but at least one record we see says otherwise. Previous transactions include what looks like a foreclosure sale in 2014 for $442K. In 2005 there’s a $480K but that seems to have been within the same family.
This stunning ranch at 21780 Marigot Drive sold for $634,350. The home is located in the higher end “Crystal Pointe” subdivision of Boca Falls and features a large pool, patio and outdoor kitchen overlooking the lake.

Originally built in 1997, the house had two transactions in 2010 with the later one at $440K.
21288 Rock Ridge Drive sold for $530,000. Built in 1998, it has 5 bedrooms and 4.1 bathrooms in 3879 sq. feet of living space. Located in The Estates subdivision, it has a large screened patio with a pool. The master bedroom is on the ground floor. It was purchased by an investment firm and then quickly sold to what looks like an individual investor in Deerfield Beach. Like Crystal Pointe, “The Estates” is on the higher end of the homes in Boca Falls. These two neighborhoods typically have paver driveways instead of stamped concrete, and other luxury features.
21404 Shannon Ridge Way in the Mystic Bay subdivision sold for $550,000. That’s a pretty good price for a four bedroom, three bath house in less than 2800 square feet. It is on one floor, has a wide lake view, and a fairly large rectangular pool. There is a 5th bedroom in the house but it’s configured as an office.

Bomb Squad Called to Mission Bay Plaza: Video and Photos
Around 10 am today we were tipped off to a situation at Mission Bay Plaza. Readers and friends told us that there was a heavy police presence along with fire trucks. We headed over and took both pictures and video.
The main part of the story is a “suspicious package” that was found in the parking area between TD Bank and Bank of America. You can see a wide version of the scene in our photo at top. It took some time but eventually the Sheriff’s “EOD” team (Explosive Ordnance Disposal or bomb squad) determined that the package was safe to handle. In the sequence of photos below you can see an armored bomb squad member approach it, pick it up, and then start bringing it to their truck along with another team member who is even more heavily armored. PBSO tells us this was not the package in question, but watching it on scene we don’t see what else it could have been.
Another reader agrees with PBSO though:
There was something else made up of an umbrella, some sort of plastic container with a water bottle and some coins.
Please note that all photos in this article are copyrighted by Warren Redlich. Media are welcome to reuse them by simply crediting @WestBocaNews or WestBocaNews.com. Most photos are available in higher resolution just by clicking on them.
There was a lot of police and fire rescue activity around the plaza. A large section of the parking lot and the area around the two banks were evacuated and blocked off by police tape.
The bomb squad truck was in operation near Bank of America.
After the package was secured, the heavily armored bomb squad team member got some help getting the helmet off.
The suspicious package itself just looks like a tool kit:
We asked PBSO for comment:
We received a call from Bank of America, located on Glades Road and 441, of a suspicious package. Deputies arrived evacuated both Bank of America and TD Bank then contained the area until Bomb and Arson arrived. Bomb and Arson arrived checked out the package and determined that there was no threat. Both banks were opened to continue business as usual.
We shot some video at the scene. Here’s our initial report:
Here's our initial report from the scene at Mission Bay this morning. Our full report is coming soon.

Our final video on the Mission Bay Bomb Squad incident. We will also do an article. Pictures at the end of the video.
