A 50-year-old Cuban, identified as Arnoldo Pérez Mirabal, was arrested on charges of committing 55 thefts at construction sites in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
It was on April 5 when local authorities put an end to the series of thefts that affected new constructions in the city.
The Chief of Police for that region of Florida, Richard Del Toro, detailed the Cuban’s modus operandi.
“Basically, he drove to our area and targeted new construction… Unfortunately, this brings many opportunities for criminals, since not being inhabited yet there is not much security”clarified the official.
