At the scene, officers met with the caller who stated that an individual walked around the victim’s residence and climbed on the roof of the victim’s home to pick mangoes from a tree. The suspect then put the fruits in his vehicle before returning to the property and looking around the victim’s boat. The suspect then climbed onto the boat and removed a Penn International 120 electric reel and placed it in his vehicle before leaving with a female passenger.
The suspect’s vehicle is described as a Black Mazda3 sedan.
