MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — The Martin County Sheriff's Office is reminding drivers to keep their car doors locked after a dozen vehicle burglaries were reported in the Martin Meadows community.
Officials said the break-ins took place overnight Thursday and the sheriff's office alerted nearby residents with a phone call and on social media.
Surveillance video from a neighbor shows a nondescript man on a bicycle ride up to a white SUV off SE Salerno Road in Stuart, pull the locked door handle, then ride away.
The sheriff's office has identified the man on the bike as a suspect in the car burglaries, and is looking for any information about who he may be.
