A man in a tropical shirt dominated by a giant pink flamingo is wanted after deputies say he entered the same St. Lucie County home twice in one day. The second visit allegedly involved using a key taken during the first burglary, turning a quick break-in into a repeat performance.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office says the suspect entered a residence last Tuesday and stole a laptop, miscellaneous food and a key, according to CBS12. Deputies allege he returned later that same day and used the stolen key to get back inside.
A Distinctive Shirt May Be The Biggest Clue
The sheriff's office released an image of the man and said it was enhanced for clarity. The available report does not identify the suspect or specify the neighborhood where the home is located, but the bright flamingo print could make him easier to recognize.
