In an incident that seems ripped right from a plot of an amateur heist movie, a man has taken it upon himself to steal vehicles from a place of learning. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office took to social media to shed light on a nocturnal escapade that left Wolfson High School's driving track short of three cars. According to their post, just after midnight on Wednesday, a man broke into a portable building, took three sets of keys, and then stole the cars.

The authorities are keen on redefining the term ‘school break’ for this individual, with the Duval County School Police working in tandem with the JSO to offer an educational trip to a Duval County jail. While two of the stolen vehicles have been recovered, the search for the third and the suspect behind this night-time heist continues. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is urging anyone with information to step forward, offering the potential for a cash reward via First Coast Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips – because, as they say, "somebody knows the answer to that question."

The suspect's brazen act was captured on camera, serving as a pivotal lead in the JSO's investigation. The Duval County School Police's effort to recover the stolen property before the commencement of the new academic year lends an urgency to the case.

Anyone with information about the missing vehicle or the suspect is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to First Coast Crime Stoppers and may be eligible for a reward.
