Lake County sheriff’s deputies are seeking help in locating a bandit suspected of burglarizing multiple vehicles recently.
Deputies believe the man pictured at right broke into a vehicle in Leesburg on Sept. 13 and stole cash and debit/credit cards from the owner’s purse. The victim’s debit card was later used by the suspect at the Dollar General store at 3701 County Road 44 in Eustis. The man also is a suspect in nine other vehicle burglaries in the Bassville Park area.
Surveillance video showed a white male suspect wearing a red long sleeve shirt and dark blue basketball shorts with a stripe down the side. He also was wearing white socks with flip flops and a beige fishing hat, a sheriff’s office report states.
Anybody with information about the man or the crime is asked to contact Detective Adam Kelly at (352) 343-2101. Tips also can be submitted via the sheriff’s office’s mobile app or at Central Florida Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
