Lightning may not strike the same place twice but one suspected burglar struck the same convenience store twice, just days apart, police said.
Police responded to an alarm at the B-Kwik, 1921 North Federal Highway, shortly after 3 a.m. on Friday, April 19.
Officers found the front door smashed out, drawers opened and items strewn around. A surveillance video showed a male throwing a rock through the front window at about 3 a.m., police said. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and lottery tickets then left through the front door, police said.
On Sunday, April 21 at about 11:30 p.m., officers answered another alarm at the B-Kwik and found an identical crime scene as two days earlier. Surveillance video showed a man who appeared to be the same suspect.
On May 5th, investigators learned that Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputies had arrested a suspect for multiple convenience store burglaries. Investigators showed the suspect, Vincent Moorman, footage from the surveillance video and he confessed to both break-ins. Moorman also confessed to burglarizing the Crown Liquor store on May 1.
Moorman, already in jail in Broward, was additionally charged with three counts of Burglary to a Structure, Grand Theft, Petit Theft and criminal mischief.
