BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is investigating two car break-ins that were apparently captured on surveillance cameras at a home in the Cascades subdivision of Boca Falls.
According to a police report obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, the homeowner on Melrose Way admits that he left his vehicles unlocked overnight, but has no idea why or how two white males would have known that as they are seen on tape entering the vehicles around 1am and ultimately making off with a wallet and its contents.
The victim told police that the surveillance video indicates the suspects approached from west of the residence.
Boca Falls recently switched to G4S security after residents reported several problems with a previous contractor. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office patrols the community overnight, but there is no roving security patrol in the gated community.
It was not two white males it was one white, and one black/Hispanic looking kid. I already gave the police all the leads they need for this case (including his name) as I did my own investigation as my wallet has my retired military ID in it and I do not want it in the wrong hands at times like these. I’m interested to see how long it takes before something is done. To make matters worse Boca Falls HOA would not send a newsletter warning all the people in the community of cars being broken in to (they have a newsletter system with each homeowners email address), and when I had questioned that we live in a gated secured community, their response is we are a gated community, not a secured community. Well then why am I paying for “security guards” and for pbso to be in the neighborhood at night.
Ahem, bocanewsnow staff, how about NOT announcing to the world that there is no roving security there? A little common sense and respect can go a long ways…
