Boca Raton Police Chase Suspected Car Burglars

The Sun Sentinel reported that a large scale operation was in effect to catch suspected car burglars in Boca Raton.

Car burglary is a felony of the third degree in Florida.  The formal name for the charge is burglary of an unoccupied conveyance.

Police had been watching a business parking lot after getting reports of a series of car burglaries. It was there that police allegedly watched as the two suspects tried to take some personal belongings from a parked car.

When police moved in, the two suspects reportedly fled.

A police boat took one of the suspects into custody as he swam away in the Intracoastal Waterway.  K9 officers tracked the other suspect.

The two suspects were arrested on charges of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, criminal mischief, resisting an officer without violence, possession of burglary tools, and possession of drug paraphernalia.  One of the suspects also faces a grand theft charge.

Car burglary is never just a car burglary.  You can be charged with the burglary, the theft (whatever you allegedly took from the car), and the damage done to the car (criminal mischief).
