Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying an unknown man who stole a water pressure tank during broad daylight from a Lehigh Acres home last week.
Just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 26, an unidentified Hispanic male pulled up to a home in the 2700 block of Sunshine Boulevard N. and made his way to the side of the house, where the water system was hooked up. The man methodically dismantled the system and carried the tank back to an older model Chevy Astro van, then left with the stolen items in tow. This was the second time in two months that this same victim had his water system stolen. Due to a previous burglary of the home back in December, the homeowner decided to install security cameras, which now will hopefully lead to the identification and subsequent arrest of the man responsible for at least one of the three crimes.
Anyone with information on the identity of the water tank thief is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at www.swflcrimestoppers.org<http://www.swflcrimestoppers.org/> or by texting a tip to CRIMES (274637) Keyword: REWARD.
