Video Shows Serial Burglary Suspects In Action

Valrico, FL — The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is looking for help identifying two teens its detectives believe may be responsible for multiple auto burglaries in the Valrico area.

According to the agency, the teens were caught on video during one of the burglaries. That video was released Wednesday morning.

The same boys, believed to be between the ages of 14 and 18, have also been connected to a burglary attempt Tuesday morning during which a gun was pulled on the victim. In that case, a woman was getting into her vehicle around 5:40 a.m. in the 3300 block of Pine Top Drive. As she did, deputies say she was approached by two teens who motioned for her to get out.

She, however, refused.

“One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the victim as she backed out of the driveway,” an email from the sheriff’s office said.

Detectives believe the teens are responsible for multiple burglaries of unlocked vehicles from the same neighborhood Tuesday.

The two burglary suspects are believed to have a driver, also thought to be between the age of 14 and 18. That person was seen driving a 2015-16 white, four-door Ford Fusion.

Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call 813-247-8200. Those wishing to be eligible for a cash reward may also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS or report anonymous online at www.crimestopperstb.com.
