Four Broward teens charged with burglary

Boca Raton, FL – On Wednesday, June 12, at about 10:25 a.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to a report of several suspicious males and a suspicious vehicle in the area of 300 SW 17th Street. The caller, who was working in the neighborhood, said the males were asking for directions and he observed two of the males coming out of a nearby backyard.

Arriving officers observed the suspect vehicle leaving the community and followed it. The driver of the vehicle committed several traffic infractions and was stopped. Officers made contact with the driver, Jaquan Johnson, and the three passengers, Givante Evans, Brandon Allen and Aquarian Moore. The officer immediately smelled the odor of marijuana emanating from the interior of the car. Officers searched the occupants and the car and found a small baggie of marijuana in Johnson’s shoe, the remains of a marijuana cigarette in the center cup holder, and a small amount of loose marijuana scattered throughout the car. Officers also found a pair of white socks in Johnson’s pocket and a lug wrench in the trunk of the car. All four teens gave officers differing accounts of why they were in Boca Raton.

Officers met with the caller and checked the house where he said he saw the males exiting the backyard. They found a rear patio screen which had been pried. The caller identified Allen and Moore as the males he saw coming out of the backyard.

Officers arrested the four teens and charged them with burglary, possession of burglary tools, loitering and prowling, and possession of marijuana. Evans is also on probation for robbery.

Boca Raton, FL – Detectives with the Boca Raton Police Services Department are investigating a strong-arm robbery that occurred at approximately 7:25 pm Tuesday, June 4th.  The victim says she was at Memorial Park on Crawford Boulevard with her two children. 

 

While her children played, the victim was running laps around a field.  She became concerned when she noticed two black males standing on the southeast corner of the field staring at her.  Due to her concern, she and her two children left the area.  While walking south in the City Hall parking lot, the victim noticed the two men walking in the same direction. She proceeded down West Palmetto Park Road to SW 3rd Avenue.  The two men continued to follow them. 

 

The two men then caught up with the victim and her children on SW 3rd Avenue.  One stayed on his cell phone from the field all the way to when he approached the victim.  That’s when one of the suspects ripped a gold necklace off her neck and ran north on SW 3rd Avenue, then east on SW 3rd Street. The victim lost sight of them heading south on SW 1st Avenue along the railroad tracks.

 

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Detective Jeff Clare at 561-338-1246 or Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS.

Boca Raton Police search for suspect who attacked resident

 

Boca Raton, FL – Detectives from the Boca Raton Police Services Department are investigating an assault that took place shortly after 1:00 am on May 28 in the 2200 block of NE 2nd Avenue.  The victim advised that he was taking his garbage out to the trash cans, located in a fenced area on the north side of the house.  He says that’s when he was hit above the left eye with an unknown object.

 

The victim said when he turned around he saw a Hispanic male holding a gun in his right hand.  He says he grabbed the suspect’s gun hand and he heard a shot discharged into the air.  The victim lost his balance and fell to the ground.  While on his back, the suspect pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger, but it only made a click noise and did not discharge.

 

The suspect took off on foot in an unknown direction.  The victim yelled to his brother, who was sleeping in the house, to call police.  The victim also had several cuts to his right arm and right midsection and thinks the suspect had a knife in his other hand.

It is tax season, again! Benjamin Franklin said, “Nothing is certain except death and taxes.” He didn’t say anything about tax refund fraud through identity theft. 

As recently as last week, Boca Raton Police officers arrested suspects who were in possession of tax return forms and pre-paid Visa cards associated with those fraudulent forms.  The paperwork included the victim’s names, Social Security numbers, addresses and the dollar amounts of the returns.  To help guard your identity and reduce the chances of becoming a victim, please take the following precautions:

  • Shred all documents that contain personal information, including credit card applications, subscriptions, etc.
  • Do not share your Social Security number with anyone!
  • At least once a year, obtain a copy of your credit report from the three major credit reporting agencies- identify and report any discrepancies.
  • Do not provide any personal information over the phone, unless you are absolutely sure to whom you are speaking.
  • Shop only on secure and reputable websites.
  • File your tax returns early.  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) starts accepting forms on January 17th.

If you think you have been a victim of tax refund fraud, contact the IRS at www.irs.gov.  For all other reports of identity theft, contact your local law enforcement agency.

For more information, contact the Boca Raton Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit at (561) 347-3938 or CrimePreventionUnit@myboca.us.
