CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\nCape Coral Police arrest three teen suspects connected to overnight vehicle burglaries<\/p>\n
CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n
Officers with the Cape Coral Police Department arrested three juvenile suspects they say were involved in a string of vehicle burglaries Monday morning.<\/p>\n
CCPD says that at around 2:51 a.m. they responded to a call regarding vehicle break-ins. Officers found two suspects hiding in nearby bushes and a third suspect was found hiding behind parked vehicles.<\/p>\n
After their arrest, CCPD concluded these individuals were “car hopping,” by targeting unlocked vehicles to steal cash and other valuable items. Four vehicles were burglarized overnight.<\/p>\n
Officers recovered several high-value stolen items, including:<\/p>\n
A white-gold diamond ring, valued at $1,000Multiple vehicle key fobs and key ringsA pair of Ray-Ban designer sunglasses<\/p>\n
The three suspects, two aged 15 and one aged 17, were transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center in Fort Myers.<\/p>\n
The suspects face the following charges:<\/p>\n
Three counts of Burglary of an Unoccupied ConveyanceOne count of Grand Theft ($750 or more, but less than $5,000)One count of second degree Petit Theft<\/p>\n
These individuals may face more charges, as additional reports come in to CCPD.<\/p>\n
CCPD said this arrest adds onto the trend of declining vehicle burglaries across the city. Vehicle burglaries have seen a decline since this time last year:<\/p>\n
In 2025: From June 1 to July 31, the department saw 95 total incidentsIn 2026: From June 1 to July 14, the department saw 35 total incidents<\/p>\n
CCPD attributes this reduction to the initiatives from the Community Services Bureau, which has been conducting strict juvenile and curfew compliance checks. <\/p>\n
As a reminder, CCPD asks residents to help their efforts by locking vehicle doors, removing valuables from sight and never leaving spare keys or fobs inside vehicles.<\/p>\n
