HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY -- Deputies are asking for the public's help in identifying several car burglary suspects.
- Deputies looking to identify car burglary suspects
- Suspects disabling security cameras, deputies say
- Suspects between 16-20 years of age
Deputies say several cars in a Riverview neighborhood have been targeted over the past week, along Balm Riverview Corridor between Boyette Road and Panther Trace Boulevard.
Officials say the suspects have been disabling security cameras, making it harder for the sheriff's office to identify them.
However, to disable most cameras, you have to get real close to the camera before it stops taking your picture. Which means the sheriff's office got a decent picture of the one suspect who did the disabling.
The other suspect's face was not captured on camera.
Deputies said the suspects are between 16 - 20-years-old. They say the suspects have been coming into people's property and being mischief's and jiggling door handles of cars to see if they can get inside.
So far, the suspects have hit about 12 vehicles, officials said, and the sheriff's office thinks they may be back again.
Residents in the neighborhood are asked to keep an eye out and to check security cameras from the past week.
