BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA — Palm Bay Police Detectives are attempting to identify at least four suspects seen on a homeowner’s security video who may be responsible for a series of overnight armed burglaries in the northwest portion of the city, according to Yvonne Martinez, City of Palm Bay Public Information Coordinator.

Just after 2 a.m. Friday, officers responded to the 1600 block of Vallee Street NW after the homeowner called to report the vehicles in his driveway had been burglarized.

According to police, the victim provided officers with surveillance video from the home’s security system. The video shows four unknown suspects walking west along Vallee Street.

One of the suspects, a black male, walks onto the driveway with a handgun and checks the door handles on the vehicle.

After finding a vehicle unsecured, the suspect returns to the street and approaches the other suspects. A different black male returns with the first suspect and enters the vehicle.

The victims reported only about $10 in loose change missing from the vehicle.

Further investigation revealed four additional locations on Vallee Street and another on Raymore Street in which vehicles were burglarized.

Anyone with information on the identity of the individuals seen in the video should contact the Central Florida CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous and can be eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000 in this case.
