OAKLAND PARK, FL – A tattooed burglar is now considered armed and potentially dangerous after stealing two loaded handguns from a vehicle at an Oakland Park apartment complex. According to authorities, the crime occurred either late Sunday, August 9 or early Monday, August 10.
Surveillance video from the apartment complex in the 100 block of Lake Emerald Drive captured the thief walking through the parking lot and trying to open car doors.
