We had someone stealing packages in Mission Hills yesterday. We have two very clear pictures of him-he was chased by a concrete worker after stealing a neighbor's packages and the person chasing him got close ups. He rides his bike and had a backpack that he ditched with a package in it and he also threw down another package that he stole. He is maybe an older teen or very young 20's. Hard to say but the picture going around is very distinctive. He rides a Mongoose bike with a lot of chrome color on it, "Sumano" and "element" written on the back and front near the wheels, with a water bottle attached. He was wearing dark clothes and held a plaid shirt and wore heavier looking black boots. I am asking you to be on the look out for your own neighborhood as I doubt he will come back here as he has been identified, at least to his behavior. And yes the sheriff is involved but came too late to catch him. And it is not the first time he has been seen in the neighborhood, I saw him riding through a week or two ago. Keep your eyes open for someone of this description and if you see him, just call 911.

I hope there are bars in his future.

What a creep. Hope a TV'er sees and reports him.

I'll say. Good work from the Mission Hills bunch to catch this pic and post it.


We need to copy and get the email thing going in TV.

Ditto. That was my first thought, but then I'm not that familiar with the new areas.

[graciegirl]

I wondered too. Were they taken by your village pool?


. I have sent this off in an email to my Village,


Jane, do you KNOW the person that took the pictures and the background? It looks like a two story place and I don't recognize it.

Back on subject for a moment. We need to be sure this picture was taken here in TV.

The person who chased him took video. The pictures are from behind the sales center in Lake Sumter Landing where he was chased to. The person chasing him has the video of him chasing the suspect and the still shots. The chaser then went back to the home of my neighbor where the packages were stolen and showed her. She is going to the sheriff this morning to file.

Another clue came in from a Mission Hills neighbor. It was helpful and I followed up and found out where he worked. Sheriff's Dept is on it as is his employer. That is all I can share for now but Mission Hill's is an awesome neighborhood and it shows if you watch what is going on and pay attention to what people are wearing when they look out of place it can be very helpful. This is amazing and quick detective work by my very awesome neighbors.
