Sarasota Deputies: Thieves Hit Police Fundraiser

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Sarasota County deputies are looking for a name to go with faces on surveillance camera images from a fundraiser Saturday night at Evie's on the Green, 4735 Bee Ridge Road.

The video shows two people deputies say stole from a fundraiser for the Police Athletic League.

Cameras in the ice cream and pizza parlor recorded a couple sitting in the back of the room and grabbing items from other tables, deputies say. They even took purses and bags of volunteers working in a fashion show for the fundraiser.

"It's unbelievable. They eat and steal, eat and steal. They don't even look nervous," said Craig Bridges, the manager of Evie's.

Volunteers told deputies they are missing iPhones, car keys and cash.

"The worst part was that they took car keys," said Mary Winter, who helped organize the event. "The girls couldn't even get home. We had to call locksmiths."

Nearly five years ago, security cameras outside Evie's recorded Joseph Smith abducting 11 year old Carlie Brucia. Smith was sentenced to death for raping and murdering Carlie.
