BSO released surveillance video Tuesday from several of the thefts in hopes that the public can help identify two additional suspects seen with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Following an investigation, detectives identified Wallace as a suspect and arrested him July 30. He was booked into BSO\u2019s Main Jail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Wallace now faces several charges, including multiple retail thefts within a specified period and second-degree petit theft, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Investigators believe Wallace and the other individuals may have targeted additional liquor stores elsewhere in Broward County.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">BSO is asking other businesses that believe they may have been victims to come forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Anyone who recognizes either of the two additional people seen in the surveillance video or has information about the thefts is asked to contact BSO Oakland Park District Detective A.
