Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives have caught three criminals who burglarized two homes Oct. 5 as the homeowners slept in their beds.

Two of the suspects were caught on video concealing their faces and spray painting the lens of a surveillance camera on the patio of a Deerfield Beach home. Then they slipped inside and stole $30,000 dollars in jewelry, electronics, checks, and other property. Detectives believe the teens possibly intended to steal the family Corvette but the dog scared them away before they could take it. Detectives recovered some of the stolen property, but they have yet to find Barbara Rysavy’s wedding ring. Earlier in the night, they crept into a Tamarac woman’s home as she slept, and stole a computer and a 2008 BMW. They drove the car to the Deerfield Beach burglary and later abandoned it.

The burglars, Brianna Anderson, David Nicholas and a 17-year-old suspect have been charged with multiple counts including burglary, grand theft, grand theft auto and criminal mischief. The 17-year-old was also charged with violation of probation. After the burglaries, detectives got a crucial clue when Anderson tried to cash checks stolen from the homeowners. She was charged with two counts of uttering a forged check.

Anyone with additional information about these suspects, the location of the missing wedding ring or the other unsolved burglaries can contact Det. Scott Nida at at (954) 480-4316, Det. Mike Colantuno at (954) 720-2225 or report information anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Broward County at (954) 493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.

BSO deputies are investigating a child bitten by a dog at the 300 block of SE 1 Street. The eight-year-old boy was outside his residence when a loose pit bull attacked him. As the child ran into his house, the dog chased him inside. Family members shooed-off the dog and first-arriving BSO deputies gave chase on foot after the dog. They ran after the dog for about two blocks, and as they reached the pit bull, it was attempting to attack another dog. Deputies confined the pit bull until Broward County Animal Care and Regulation workers arrived and removed the dog. The child was treated by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Deerfield Beach units then airlifted via BSO Air Rescue to Broward General Medical Center, arriving at the hospital at 7:19 p.m. Sunday. The child was reported to be conscious and breathing and sustained a laceration to the face and multiple bites. Injuries are non life-threatening. The call was received at 6:40 p.m.

New laws threaten coast, fish

Dear Editor:

Are you aware that the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission [FWCC] is proposing to change the rules on the harvest of Spotted Sea Trout?  [New rules would expand the season and double the catch limit]. If passed, the new “law” could possibly be the demise of the Spotted Sea Trout here in Florida.

Commercial saltwater fishing impacts Florida’s economy with over $1 billion annually and over 10,000 jobs. The numbers, both recreational and commercial, add up to one huge chunk of change for Florida annually and that, my friend, is a wonderful thing. But ask yourself, “Am I willing to put at risk the extermination of such a wonder fishery so that a chosen few can gain some quick cash in place of an industry that supports Florida with $5 billion in revenue every year? Am I willing to jeopardize one of the state’s largest tourism magnets and chance the destruction of some of the world’s most wonderful marine nurseries and estuaries so that a chosen few can make some quick cash? Is changing the rules worth the risk?”

Remember what happened to the Redfish stock in the 1980s due to commercial fishing over-harvesting? Redfish in the state of Florida were all but wiped out, and it took many years to bring the Redfish population back to healthy stock levels. Billions of dollars were lost and the fishing tackle industry took a monstrous hit. Not to mention the unknown amount of money spent on getting the stock back to present-day levels.

As recreational anglers, it is in our best interest to do everything we can to see that the rules are not changed in order to ensure the future of the Spotted Sea Trout Fishery. I strongly urge you to write the FWCC today and voice your opinion regarding this matter of great importance.
