OAKLAND PARK, Fla. – A trio of thieves stole $600 worth of items from an Oakland Park home in July, and then returned a week later to steal the homeowner's truck, authorities said.

On Friday, the Broward County Sheriff's Office released surveillance video of the thieves using a stolen credit card, in hopes someone can identify them.

Joy Oglesby, a spokeswoman for the Broward County Sheriff's Office, said the burglars broke into a home around 9:30 a.m. on July 10 along Northwest 18th Avenue and stole a number of items, including jewelry, keys, credit cards and a passport. Sometime later that day, one of thieves is seen on camera using one of the credit cards at a Publix store in Pompano Beach.

A week later, the burglars returned and stole the homeowner's 2019 GMC Canyon truck, Oglesby said. Deputies found the truck abandoned hours later in Pompano Beach.
