In recent months, Palm Beach County has been plagued by a series of burglaries that have left many residents feeling unsafe. The primary focus of the investigations is on the theft of ATMs from businesses across the county. Over the past year and a half, these crimes have been reported in various areas of Palm Beach County, including Palm Beach Gardens and Greenacres.
The suspect in these burglaries has been captured on surveillance footage provided by investigators. The individual is seen wearing a hoodie and face coverings, suggesting that they may not be acting alone. It is believed that the suspect uses a cutting tool to gain access to the ATMs within the businesses. Staff members at nearby businesses expressed concern about their own security measures, stating that surveillance cameras did not deter the suspect from committing the crimes. They emphasized the importance of being vigilant in order to prevent future incidents.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is committed to apprehending the person responsible for these crimes and ensuring public safety. Customers like Jean Patten are using empathy to address the suspect, urging them to consider the impact of their actions on others. Patten also advises the perpetrator to seek legitimate employment rather than resorting to criminal activities.
