Sarasota, Fla. (970 WFLA)-The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested a 20-year-old man on felony charges after technology connected him with a vehicle burglary in Sarasota.
Patrol deputies responded to the area of Lockwood Ridge and Desoto Roads over the weekend for a series of burglaries to unlocked cars.
On Sunday morning just before 11:00 a.m., deputies met with one of the victims who indicated that an iPad was stolen from his car on Saturday night.
