Suspected Burglar Arrested After Allegedly Stealing $300K in valuables

Broward Criminal Defense AttorneyLocal police arrested a 38-year-old man in Miramar on September 25 in connection with an estimated 30 home burglaries in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Miramar. Following that arrest, the man was found to have two active Broward County arrest warrants out for him as well as previous arrests for such crimes. During the man’s arraignment on September 29, he asked for a bond reduction, a request that was denied.

The one connection between all of the alleged crimes is that each home was undergoing fumigation for termites at the time of the thefts. According to local police, that specific pattern first surfaced in May and resulted in an undercover operation being put in place. Homes being fumigated were staked out, with police saying that the man was seen leaving a Hollywood home undergoing the process.

After following the man back to his apartment, they knocked on his door and discovered an estimated $300,000 worth of allegedly stolen merchandise. Paintings, electronics, memorabilia and jewelry were among the vast number of items seen, with one police official likening it to a pawn shop. Among the items allegedly taken in that last incident were rare 45 records and coins inside a prescription bottle.
