High-impact glass foils two burglary suspects, surveillance video records their failed attempts

High impact glass does more than just protect buildings from hurricane-force winds, it apparently protects against burglars too.

That was the case around 7:20 p.m. on Sept. 26 at an Oakland Park town house on the 3000 block of Northwest 29th Court. Two men tried to shatter the sliding glass door by repeatedly kicking it and using a center-punch, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

It was the second break-in attempt in September. The homeowner installed security cameras after the first.

One suspect appeared to be tall and slim, in his late teens or 20s, with short dreadlocks and a goatee, wearing an over-sized T-shirt and baggy shorts with running shoes. The second man was shorter and stockier, with short black hair, a goatee, and tattoos all the way down both arms. He wore a white muscle shirt and sagging baggy pants, the video showed.

Investigators are urging anyone with information to call Detective Kelly Stull at 954-202-3111 or Broward Crimestoppers at 954-493- 8477.
