A man in central Florida was arrested Monday after allegedly carrying out at least 10 burglaries over the past five months in broad daylight, targeting houses while funeral ceremonies were taking place.
He allegedly targeted homes owned by the recently departed or their relatives and used public obituaries, which noted funeral times, to carry the burglaries when people would likely be away, according to a statement released by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators said the burglaries all occurred during the daytime, and the primary target for theft included jewelry, watches, silver, coins and firearms. Rose is facing a slew of felony and misdemeanor charges, including two counts of armed burglary, eight counts of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, grand theft between $20,000 and $100,000, eight counts of grand theft from a dwelling, seven-counts of grand theft of a firearm and petit theft. He is now being held in Polk County Jail without bond.More Related News
