A Tamarac man who jumped a fence to access a neighbor's yard before stealing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry from her home was caught after his leap was caught on surveillance camera.
According to Broward County Sheriff's Office detectives, 21-year-old Javond Hall, of Woodmont, hopped a fence right into Carmen Velez's yard Monday. The feat was captured in surveillance video from a neighbor's home.
When Velez returned home after being gone all day, police say she returned home to smashed windows and a ransacked bedroom. Thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and valuables were stolen from the home.
On Wednesday, deputies arrested Hall in connection with the burglary. A search warrant at Hall's apartment recovered hundreds of pieces of jewelry, passports, credit cards, cell phones, electronics, two handgun magazines, a bag of ammunition and a safe.
Hall was already on felony probation for previous burglary charges at the time of his arrest.
Police say there have been about a dozen burglaries in the Woodmont development in March.
BSO, along with Coral Springs Police, will investigate Hall's possible connection to other burglaries in the area. Additional charges are pending.
