Tampa law enforcement is on the hunt for a pack of burglars, and they're turning to the community for aid. Four individuals caught on camera breaking into SoHo Gourmet Market on March 1 are the focus of an ongoing investigation, as detailed by Tampa Police Department. A video of the incident is circulating, offering a glimpse at the suspects and the distinctive gray Dodge Charger they used as their escape vehicle.
In the early hours, around 3:35 a.m., the suspects drove up to the market with a concrete circular saw in hand. The closed business, located at 616 W Platt St., became their target. With no license plate, the Dodge Charger is noted for its "Skat Pak" emblem, black spoiler, and black rims – details that the Tampa Police hope will lead to a breakthrough. The suspects cut their way in and made off with electronics including cell phones and iPads, alongside cigarettes, and gaming systems.
The urgency of the Tampa Police to solve this case has led them to make a public appeal. They're asking citizens to take a close look at the security footage, posted on the Tampa Police Department's official website. By sharing this video, the hope is that someone might recognize the individuals, or the unique car they used during the burglary.
