Police are looking to arrest a man on a charge of burglary after
allegedly breaking into a convenience store, stealing lottery tickets
and then cashing the winning ticket at the same store, according to
police in Florida.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released a video of the theft,
and asked people to come forward with information that can lead to an
arrest.
The video shows the thief lowering himself from the roof of the store
located in the 5000 block of Lake Worth Road. He then headed over to the
lottery tickets and grabbed a bunch of them before leaving from the
store.
Later, the brazen thief came back to the store with a winning ticket in order to cash it.
โTo the brilliant burglar who broke in through the roof to steal lottery
tickets, did you not notice the cameras? You must not have because you
came back a few days later to the same store to cash the stolen lottery
tickets.
โThis unknown male entered the business located in the 5000 block of
Lake Worth Road, Greenacres, through the roof. Once inside the suspect
took an amount of lottery scratch off tickets.
At a later date, the suspect returned to the store to cash in winning lottery tickets,โ police wrote on Facebook.
