The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has released a surveillance video image of a person of interest wanted in connection with at least four home burglaries in Venice.
Two of the homes that were robbed were in the Meadow Run Drive neighborhood and two others were in the nearby Chestnut Creek community around the Sugarwood Trail area.
According to police, the man, identified as a black male in his 20s, used a crow bar to pry open the door frames. Once inside the home, the thief then stole electronics, jewelry and cash.
They say all the homes that were targeted were in cul-de-sacs in a dead end.
