Watch: Thieves Try To Steal Rent Check At NPR Apartment Complex

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL -- Pasco County Sheriff's deputies are asking for the public's assistance in identifying two would-be burglars who targeted the Worthington Court Apartments, 7541 Highwater Drive in New Port Richey.

On March 1 at approximately 10 p.m., two men inserted a long, thin object into the opening of the rent drop box located in the office building of the apartment complex and tried to fish out checks and money orders that
renters had dropped in the box.

The men, however, left empty handed, driving away in a dark colored, four-door car heading north toward State Road 54.

Anyone who can identify these men is asked to call the Pasco Sheriff's Office Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488, reference case #18-8499.
