Wesley Chapel, FL - The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office is actively searching for a man accused of stealing two vehicles from a business located in Wesley Chapel. The community is being urged to remain vigilant and report any information that may lead to the apprehension of the suspect.

 

The incident occurred on Tuesday at approximately 9:40 p.m., when the man allegedly attempted to force entry into a business situated on the 27200 block of Wesley Chapel Blvd. The suspect is accused of stealing two vehicles, both of which have since been recovered by the authorities.

 

In a subsequent development, the suspect was reportedly seen driving one of the stolen vehicles late Wednesday night in New Tampa, near another business on the 5100 block of Point of Tampa Way.
