LONGWOOD, FLA. -- Talk about creepy! Some guy was trying to get inside a Longwood-area woman's home through the pool area, looking into windows and trying to open a door once inside the screened-in porch surrounding the pool under the cover of darkness, a Seminolw County Sheriff's official said.
Seminole County Sheriff’s Investigators are asking the public for help identifying this residential burglary suspect, whose attempts to break in were caught on surveillance cameras on the premises. The investigation began that very night on July 23, when deputies responded to a residence on Northridge Drive in unincorporated Longwood.
"Upon arrival, deputies spoke to the victim who provided images of a suspect who walked into her screened in pool/patio," SCSO spokeswoman Kim Canaday told Headline Surfer.
"Once inside the screen porch he looked in a window and attempted to open doors leading into the home. The suspect did not gain entry into the home and nothing was stolen."
The suspect is described as a white male with a medium build and dark hair. He was seen wearing a light colored “Mastercraft” brand t-shirt, unknown color shorts and tennis shoes.
