Keys Man Arrested for Burglarizing Neighbor's Shed

A man was arrested Friday for burglarizing his neighbor's shed in the Florida Keys.

The victim told Monroe County Sheriff's deputies he went to his tool shed, only to find the suspect, identified by police as 42-year-old Lester Farias, inside. Farias fled and the victim followed him while calling 911.

When deputies responded to the scene, they recovered a number of items taken from the shed, which they say Farias dropped as he fled. The victim identified all of the items as his belongings.

Farias was taken into custody and charged with armed burglary and grand theft. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
