Locked in Shed and Robbed

FL - An elderly man had to use a chain saw to escape a storage shed after two thieves locked him inside.

The 75-year-old man told deputies he saw two juveniles pass by his home as he walked into a storage shed. He turned to see one of the juveniles close the door on him.

He had to use a chainsaw to cut a hole through the door. He crawled out and found his home on Lake Como Drive burglarized.

The thieves have not been caught, and investigators don't have a strong enough description of them.

Investigators hope to get a tip from someone. Call Crime Stoppers at 1-88-277-TIPS. You'll remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your information leads to an arrest.

I hope they get these thugs, these low lifes fast and lock them in a cage.

The elderly man, the victim, could have died in that hot shed.

Good for him. The elderly may be elderly, but that doesn't mean they're weak.

I hope they catch the thieves and lock them away for a long, long time.

I would like 10 minutes with these criminals, just 10 minutes that will impact their lives forever.

The juveniles probably thought this was funny.

They are future thieves or worse.
