Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office North Lauderdale District are requesting assistance from the public to identify and locate a man caught on camera breaking into a vehicle and stealing a handgun.

The incident occurred at approximately 3:47 a.m. on Sunday, December 8, 2024, near the 7800 block of Southwest Seventh Street. According to investigators, video footage captured a male suspect tampering with the door handle of a 2021 Jeep Cherokee.
