ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. - Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office detectives are asking the public to help identify a suspect thought to be connected to 12 vehicles that were vandalized in the Greenway Village Community.
“There was glass all over here," said Susan Bertoncini, whose car window was smashed, but only a dollar bill and some change were stolen from her car.
PBSO provided surveillance photos of the person who they think could be responsible for the burglaries that happened sometime overnight from Tuesday into Wednesday.
Out of the burglaries; four vehicles were unlocked and eight vehicle windows were broken.
“I have a 500 deductible on my insurance, so I’ll probably have to pay the whole thing," Bertoncini said.
“Right next to my car, both of the cars on both sides of me had been broken into the driver’s side window was smashed," said Alexander Nebb, whose car was not broken into.
One car owner was having his window repaired in the parking lot at Greenway Village late Wednesday morning. He said only a car charger was stolen from his car.
