Sheriff Arrests Man Accused Of Burglarizing 20 Cars

TOWN N’ COUNTRY, FL – A habitual auto burglar is behind bars after Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies linked him to 20 car burglaries over the past several months.

Deputies arrested Seadrick Vincent Moore, 18, after deputies were called to the 6400 block of Sawyer Road in Tampa on Monday, Aug. 20, at 1:30 p.m. for a domestic violence dispute between Moore and his sister, Meseadia Khaliss Springer, 38.

Springer said she got into an argument with her brother after their mother asked him to move out of the house. The argument reportedly turned violent and Moore pushed his sister, who is pregnant. Moore was arrested for aggravated battery on a pregnant female and was transported to the Orient Road Jail.

Upon booking, witnesses identified Moore as the person seen burglarizing cars on surveillance videos over the past several months.

He was positively identified as the burglar who broke into 10 cars on Seabury Court, Fountain Avenue, Wayside Court, Lodestone Drive, Pocahontas Avenue and Debeers Drive in Town N’ Country on Friday, Aug. 17.

Moore also reportedly stole a 2018 Honda after finding the keys inside and removed a Smith & Wesson 9 mm gun from a 2011 Toyota.

Additionally, Moore was identified from surveillance video breaking into two cars on Murray Hill Drive in Tampa and removing items valued at $550, and burglarizing a Ford F-150, a Volkswagen Passat and four other cars on Seafarer Drive in Tampa on June 24, stealing a driver’s license and $4,049 worth of electronics.

Moore has been on probation since Feb. 28, 2017, for arson of an occupied dwelling. He’s now facing a number of other charges include grand theft and armed burglary.

Moore is being held without bond.
