The victim reported a small, personal safe was missing from his bedroom closet. Preliminary investigation revealed the apartment door was not properly secured. Detectives are working with the building security personnel to gather available videos in an effort to develop investigative leads. The CID is working with security from a second beachside condominium to determine who may have taken a tool box from a vehicle parked on the premises. The victim parked the vehicle in the garage area for an extended period of time. Upon his return, he discovered a tool box was missing from within the vehicle. There is little information available at this time, but detectives are working with building security to help develop leads. The CID investigated the theft of a motor vehicle from the gated community. The vehicle's GPS systems used 3G technology to track the vehicle, but effort to locate the vehicle failed due to ATT ending 3G wireless services. Detectives forwarded the theft information to other agencies. The Broward Sheriff's Office later located the vehicle and arrested an individual for the auto theft.

In light of recent complaints regarding dogs without leashes in that area, the BSO conducted bicycle patrol along with another Marine Patrol Officer and conducted area checks of the beach area and the walking path just south of the Oceana (10201 Collins Avenue). This weekend the BSO did not observe any dogs without leashes in that area. While on bicycle patrol, the BSO observed a tent that was erected on the jetty, the owner was asked to take it down, due to the potential risk of injury to others.

While on bicycle patrol, the BSO conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that refused to stop for pedestrians on the crosswalk at 9900 Collins Avenue.
