No fear at that point,\u201d said Zoe Lazcano.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Lazcano has been a swimwear designer for more than a decade. Her brand, Zoe All Over, has tens of thousands of followers on Instagram. She sells bikinis and swim trunks with designs she creates herself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI only make 50 of everything and I don\u2019t restock anything so it\u2019s very exclusive and they\u2019re all designed by me,\u201d Lazcano said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Lazcano said she had been waiting months for a bulk order that arrived around 2:30 p.m. Friday, just in time for summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">About two hours later, surveillance video shows a gray Ford F-150 pulling up and backing into her driveway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Two people got out, walked up to the porch and took a large box containing dozens of items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a big blow, delay. This is gonna set me back for months,\u201d Lazcano said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The thieves also took another package.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThere was a small box which happened to be a case of Celsius. That they also took,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The theft happened in a neighborhood near the intersection of Davie Boulevard and State Road 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">One of the suspects is seen wearing a scarf around their head, while the other appears to have their face covered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cDefinitely dressed in a way that they do this often to kind of cover up and not show too much skin,\u201d Lazcano said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Fort Lauderdale police confirmed they are investigating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Lazcano said she plans to monitor whether any of the stolen merchandise is resold online. She hopes someone recognizes the people seen in the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThat would be a miracle. But I also really wanna hold these people accountable cause now it\u2019s like a safety concern, now I\u2019m wondering, are they casing my neighborhood?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Anyone with information or who recognizes the people in the surveillance footage is asked to contact Fort Lauderdale police.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 A Fort Lauderdale swimwear designer is hoping someone recognizes two thieves caught on surveillance&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-290605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
