Police ask for public's help in catching TV thief

OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (WSVN) -- The Broward Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding a television bandit with droopy drawers.

Authorities say the suspect and another man have stolen at least 40 flat-screen televisions across Broward County.

The thieves use an object to smash through the doors of businesses and then grab the flat screens and jump into an awaiting get-away vehicle.

BSO detectives have released surveillance video of the suspect stealing flat screen TVs in several locations, hoping someone recognizes the suspect and comes forward with information.

If you have any information on this TV crime, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
