The Lee County Sheriff's Office and Crimestoppers are releasing fresh surveillance video of two suspects wanted for a string of car burglaries in Lehigh Acres.
15 different addresses were hit early on January 14th, between 2nd Street Southwest and 15th Street Southwest off Sunshine Boulevard.
"Credit cards, social security cards, and the kids insurance, and the kids social security card," said Jose Angel Torres Rodriguez.
He lives at the end of 7th Street and had his car broken into. Another man off 2nd Street gave Fox-4 surveillance video of a suspect breaking into his truck and taking cash.
Crimestoppers believes these suspects are responsible for another string of break-ins in December.
They made off with credit cards and tried to use them at a Dollar General, although the transaction was declined.
However, Jose is still feeling uneasy knowing his information may be in the burglar's hands.
"It concerns us as far as our credit and stuff like that, identity theft."
Crimestoppers says the two suspects may also be responsible for a December 28th break in, where a purse, gun and lap top computer were taken out of a car.
Anyone with information on these crimes is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS, you could be eligible for a $1,000 cash reward.
