Thief targets Valrico Home Depot store

VALRICO, Fla. - The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspected thief who stole multiple large items from a Home Depot store. The most recent incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. this past Sunday at the Home Depot on East Brandon Boulevard in Valrico.

Deputies say a man was captured on surveillance video entering the store with an empty flat cart. They say he later left the store with two RYOBI presser washers and one RYOBI chainsaw without paying.
