More and more homes in Miami-Dade County are equipped with video surveillance systems. While video surveillance can be useful in helping law enforcement officers catch suspected burglars, the resolution is often grainy and the picture is not clear enough to make out a positive identification. The way police typically use video surveillance evidence is in conjunction with other evidence, such as fingerprints, DNA, or whether any recently stolen property has been sold at a pawnshop.
If arrested and charged, this man will face one count of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, a second-degree felony, and one count of grand theft, a third-degree felony.
