Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying two young men who burglarized several vehicles in Lehigh Acres early Wednesday morning.

According to officials, the damage was discovered at about 7:30 a.m. when one of the victims went to drive his son to school. When he looked at his car, parked in his driveway on Southwest 15th Street, he noticed that the driver’s side window was smashed in and his dashboard was damaged from someone trying to dismantle the stereo system.

The resident had surveillance cameras installed on the outside of his home, which captured images of the suspects in action. Upon review of the video, it was learned that two suspects were seen walking from the west side of the residence onto the driveway at about 1:30 a.m.

One suspect climbed onto the truck bed and attempted to gain access through the rear sliding window, with unsuccessful results. Both suspects left the home on foot, walking westbound on 15th Street.

Just over 30 minutes later, the same two suspects arrived at the residence a second time. One suspect moved the two surveillance cameras on the upper two corners of the garage and possibly unscrewed lightbulbs on the sides of the garage.

The second suspect approached another truck in the driveway and removed the trailer hitch, which was used to break the window. While he was burglarizing the car, the second suspect walked onto the home’s screened lanai to ensure that nobody was watching them.

Detectives believe three cars were broken into during that same time frame, by the same suspects, all in the area of South Hightower Avenue.

Anyone with information on the identities and whereabouts of the suspects is asked to call Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
