Sheriff’s Detective Rosary Ponce is asking for the public’s assistance identifying the suspect in a vehicle burglary which took place in Marathon Tuesday night.
Deputies working night shift spotted a man riding his bike with no lights near 47th Street at 1:30 a.m. They attempted to stop him, but he dropped the bike and fled on foot. He left behind a sweatshirt. In the pockets of the sweatshirt deputies found a camera, company gas card, keys and a vehicle registration which came back to a Ford truck belonging to Keys Air Conditioning.
The deputies went to the business in question and found one of their company trucks with a broken passenger side window. All the property had been stolen from the truck.
Upon further investigation, Deputy Ponce discovered the bike the suspect had been riding was stolen from a home on 49th Street and the sweatshirt he left behind was also stolen from a second vehicle burglary.

Video quality was very poor. To be effective needs to be high quality. As to rewards I never would accept any. I feel it is my duty to help the cops .without being paid
