A bold burglar was caught on camera taking off his shirt and looking for a drink after he broke into a Surfside, Florida home, WPLG says.
Surveillance video shows the suspect taking off his shirt and searching around the house for something to take. He is also shown wandering around and even checking out a bicycle.
Samuel Font, the homeowner, told reporters the man was looking "everywhere" with a flashlight in his hand, "opening everything he could."
"I think first thing he went for was the alcohol," Font said. "I guess he got relaxed. He was real interested in what he could find to drink."
Even local authorities were shocked at what took place Sunday night (August 15).
“How brazen is this?” asked Surfside police officer Marian Cruz. “This guy takes off his shirt, looks for alcohol all in an area where there are a ton of cops. It’s something we don’t see in Surfside.”
Cops reportedly showed up at the residence, but the burglar got away and even left a case of wine behind. “We will get him, we will arrest him,” Cruz said.
Font believes the burglar will be taken into custody soon. "He left his image, they can see who he is, so he better not come back to Surfside," the homeowner warned.
