Feb. 6 BSO detectives worked around the clock late Friday through Saturday morning to solve the recent residential burglaries in Deer Creek. A suspect has been arrested and charged with the burglaries on Lob Lolly Lane, Deer Creek Run, and another in Starlight Cove.

Suspect was taken into custody for an active warrant on Friday afternoon. During questioning, suspect admitted to committing several burglaries in Deer Creek (Lob Lolly and Deer Creek Run) and one in Starlight Cove off NW 38 Avenue. Suspect was able to provide specific details to the crimes including location, timeframe, entry method and property description. Some property has been recovered, however ,detectives are still attempting to match it with the crimes committed.

Detectives used witness information, evidence, investigative technology, and interviewing skills to solve these cases. Suspect is in custody without bond for several counts of burglary (occupied and unoccupied), grand theft, and an outstanding warrant.

One of the most important details of this situation is that the break in the case came from information received from a resident. Remember, if you see suspicious activity, call 911 immediately.
