OAKLAND PARK, FLA. (WSVN) – An Oakland Park business owner is frustrated after a man is caught on camera stealing his mail.<\/p>\n
Speaking with 7News Thursday, a business owner, who did not wish to be identified, said he\u2019s fed up after watching the man pry open his mailbox through his Ring camera and take his mail.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I could cuss on TV, I would,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Through his Ring camera, he yelled at the man, who promptly walked away with a scooter.<\/p>\n
A short time later, the man returned on his scooter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw the guy come back and he broke into the mailbox with a screwdriver or some sort of a pry bar and took the mail,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n
This happened on Aug. 1 at a business complex near Northeast 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue.<\/p>\n
The man who spoke with 7News operates Two B Printing. He said the mail thefts endanger his ability to provide for his family.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is how I feed my family, you know, so if there\u2019s money in here, checks in here, they\u2019re gone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not the only one who was seemingly targeted by that man. <\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows the man cruising by the businesses on his scooter, mumbling to himself in Spanish as he zoomed through.<\/p>\n
He also appeared to be wearing an earpiece when he broke into the mailboxes.<\/p>\n
The business owner told 7News he believes this was part of an elaborate scheme involving other individuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had an earpiece in, and then there was a black car sitting in the street so I think they were communicating on which ones had mail in it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
You can hear the man break into the first mailbox off-camera. A short time later, he breaks into a second.<\/p>\n
He goes right down the line of mailboxes, pulling out whatever he can find inside, hitting a total of five different mailboxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had the whole thing planned out,\u201d the business owner said.<\/p>\n
After the man gets caught by the business owner, he can be seen riding his scooter further down the street as the black vehicle turns in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
The business owner said he\u2019s not sure what the man managed to take from him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have client checks coming in the mail, I have credit card statements, investment statements, so I don\u2019t know exactly what was taken but it was definitely important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The business owner is hoping that sharing the footage will help authorities identify the man and stop the mail thefts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that you guys put his face on TV and catch this guy, you know, so somebody else doesn\u2019t have to go through this. I mean, this is our personal box for information that is private,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also filed a report with the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is also investigating the incident.<\/p>\n
If you have any information on this crime, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.<\/p>\n
