Gloved teens ransack snack shop — no fingerprints, but camera reveals their faces

The two teens who ransacked the snack shop at C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines wore gloves to cover their hands — but the gloves didn’t shield them from security cameras that captured their every move.

Police on Wednesday released video and pictures of the two boys —who detectives believe are between 13 and 16 — as they damaged cash registers and computer monitors. Police say the damage totaled more than $6,000.

The break-in at C.B. Smith’s Paradise Cove water park happened 1 p.m. Feb. 14, according to the time-stamped surveillance video. The boys pried open a glass door to make entry, police said. The teens could be seen in the video wearing purple latex gloves as they pry open registers and destroy the computer monitors.

For months, police reached out to school resource officers and circulated fliers with their photos, but were unable to identify the boys. Now they’re asking the media for help.

Anyone with information is asked to call Pembroke Pines Det. Joseph Cabrera at 954-435-6563 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
