Burglar rams van through bay door

No keys? No problem for a determined thief who used a van to ram through the door of a warehouse bay to steal tools and other property inside, said Davie police.

Detectives are searching for the burglar who literally broke into bay No. 9 of building No. 6, at 4701 SW

45th St. on Dec. 2.

He is seen on surveillance video ramming a red Dodge Caravan through the lower half of the warehouse door before getting out of the van to push open the roll-up door.

The video showed him entering the warehouse and stealing tools along with 25 cases of Freon coolant valued at $1,250.

A gray 2008 Honda Accord was also stolen but that theft was not recorded by security cameras, police said.

The video showed the burglar as having a dark complexion, wearing a blue baseball cap, an over-sized white hockey T-shirt with a large Florida Panthers shield logo on the front, gray pants, a yellow work glove on his left hand, a black glove on his right hand, and dark running shoes with white trim and laces.
