Valrico Park Auto Burglar's Photo Released

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a little help to identify a woman they say is responsible for seven recent auto burglaries at Valrico Park.

The crimes occurred Aug. 26 between 8:15 and 8:45 p.m. when a woman broke the front passenger windows of seven cars parked at the 707 S. Miller Road facility. The woman then took a variety of items, including purses, cell phones, checks and cash.

Deputies were able to get her photo when the woman cashed one of the stolen checks at the 9775 N. 56th St. Wells Fargo in Temple Terrace. The woman used the victim’s ID and forged her signature, deputies say.

They are looking for a woman with black shoulder-length hair with a center part. She is estimated to be between the age of 30 and 45. Deputies believe she was driving a black or dark blue vehicle.

Anyone who can identify the woman is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 813-247-8200. Tips may also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), online at www.crimestopperstb.com or by texting “CSTB plus your tip” to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637).
