James Smith/Contributed photo SUSPECT ARRESTED WHILE BREAKING INTO VEHICLES IN SARASOTA On Saturday, May 10, off-duty Sarasota Police Department officers working a detail at the Municipal Auditorium caught a suspect who allegedly was breaking into vehicles in the parking lot, the department has announced. An individual attending the event in the audi- torium, which is located at 801 N. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota, approached the officers and told them a man was walking up to vehicles in the parking lot and pulling on all the door handles to see whether the vehicles were locked, a news release says. When Sgt. Eric Bolden walked out to the lot, the release continues, he saw a suspect matching the description the individual had provided the officers. The man was leaning into a red pickup truck, the release notes, apparently rifling through the center console. David Rathburn/Contributed photo Sarasota News Leader May 16, 2014 Page 90
