Photos of FishHawk Ranch Burglars Released

Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating a July 12 home burglary in FishHawk Ranch in which burglars walked away with $3,650 worth of electronics and other items.

According to a sheriff's office report, the home at 15215 Merlinpark Place, Lithia, was broken into at about 6:45 a.m. July 12.

The sheriff's office said two men pried open the sliding-glass door at the back of the house. Once inside, the burglars removed 25-inch and 50-inch flat-screen TVs, two pair of Nike Jordan tennis shoes and a Ryobi power drill.

Detectives said the homeowner's home security system caught the burglars in action. Detectives are now asking for the community's help in identifying them.

One is a man in his late teens or early 20s, medium build, brown hair in a shoulder-length pony tail, wearing below-the-knee shorts, a yellow shirt with horizontal stripes, and dark-colored tennis shoes with white shoe laces.

The other burglar is a man in his late teens to early 20s, skinny build, 6 feet to 6-foot-2, wearing a do-rag and below-the-knees, light-colored shorts. 

Anyone with information may contact the sheriff's office at 813-247-8200.
