***UPDATE: JULY 22***
An idenitification has been made in this case, and charges have been filed for unarmed burglary.

ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:
Two car burglaries were thwarted on Thursday, July 9th at about 4:00 am in the area of Lake Ellen Drive near Haines City.

Security video shows two suspects simultaneously trying to open two vehicles in one driveway. Their attempts were stopped short when a car alarm was activated, and sent the two burglars running.

The PCSO needs to get these two identified, as they will likely make more attempts elsewhere.
