Detectives investigating multiple Marathon vehicle burglaries
Sheriff’s deputies and detectives are still taking reports
today of multiple vehicle burglaries which took place overnight in Marathon.
As is the usual case, all the vehicles targeted were
unlocked, including one vehicle parked on Morton Street on Grassy Key with a Glock
9mm handgun inside which was stolen.
“We continue to remind people that these types of crimes are
easily preventable”, said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “It is simple: just lock your
car doors. In most cases, that is all it takes.”
Detectives and deputies say they have taken more than ten
vehicle burglary reports so far, with burglaries taking place all over the city
of Marathon, including on 95th Street, Tingler Avenue, Sombrero
Beach Boulevard and Morton Street, on Grassy Key. The suspects got away with
sunglasses, cash, and electronics. The exact number of burglaries and their
locations are still being tallied. More details will be released when they are
available.
There was some surveillance video captured of the burglars.
If anyone hears anything about these crimes or recognizes the suspects in the
video, call the Sheriff’s Office immediately. Callers who wish to remain
anonymous can call Crime Stoppers of the Florida Keys. If a Crimestoppers tip
leads to an arrest, the caller would be eligible for a cash reward. The Crimestoppers
