DBPD Arrest Four in Auto Burglary and Auto Theft Investigation
This morning, the Delray Beach Police Department executed search warrants at four homes in the city as part of an ongoing investigation into auto burglaries and at least 14 auto thefts.
Four people were arrested, three of whom are juveniles.
During the search warrants, officers seized an AR-15 pistol, several loaded extended magazines with 9mm ammunition, five forms of identification belonging to auto burglary victims, and other stolen property.
There has been misinformation circulating that officers targeted the wrong home. That is not true. The search warrants were executed at the intended locations, and this was a successful operation.
“This investigation is another example of the Delray Beach Police Department’s commitment to identifying those responsible for crimes in our community and holding them accountable,” said Chief Darrell Hunter.
This operation was made possible with assistance from the Boynton Beach Police Department, Boca Raton Police Department, and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office - South Florida Criminal Apprehension Team.
As a reminder, please lock your vehicle doors, remove valuables, and never leave keys of fi****ms inside your vehicle.
