Tampa Police Detectives are actively searching for a suspect believed to be involved in a series of auto burglaries, an auto theft, and fraudulent credit card use across the West Tampa area and into Clearwater. They are sharing the following video in the hopes that someone may be able to help them identify and locate the suspect.
On June 22, 2025, a Jeep Wrangler was stolen from The Seazen Apartments at 7616 Courtney Campbell Cswy.
On June 27, an auto burglary occurred at the same apartment complex, resulting in the theft of a wallet and credit cards. The suspect then attempted to use these stolen credit cards at the Publix near Gandy Blvd and Dale Mabry Hwy.

The suspect is described as a white male with sleeve tattoos, last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a salmon t-shirt, blue and white swim shorts, and black shoes. Tampa Police detectives are working closely with the Clearwater Police Department to identify and apprehend this suspect.
Anyone with information that could help detectives in locating and apprehending this suspect is asked to call Tampa Police at 813.231.6130 and refer to report number 25-355020.
