OAKLAND PARK, Fla. – Surveillance video shows two thieves fleeing in a two-toned pickup truck on Friday in Oakland Park, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. One of them wore a neon orange rain jacket during the heist.
Deputies responded shortly after 12:10 p.m., on Saturday, to the burglary near North Andrews Avenue and West Oakland Park Boulevard.
George Giraldo, who is a U.S. Army veteran, reported the thieves parked a Chevrolet Silverado at Burger King to steal about $10,000 in lawn equipment from his locked storage unit.
“That freaking truck is out there and somebody is going to see it,” Giraldo said.
BSO Oakland Park District detectives were still investigating the crime on Monday afternoon, according to Gerdy St. Louis, a spokeswoman for the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
The surveillance video shows one of the thieves jumping a wooden fence to get to Giraldo’s storage container. Giraldo said the thief cut a lock. The video shows a thief passing over Giraldo’s property to his accomplice who was waiting on the other side.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about the theft to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477. Crime Stoppers offers a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in a case.
