LEE COUNTY: Two burglars are accused of stealing crackers and a snake from a home on 28th Street SW in Lehigh Acres, according to Lee County Sheriff’s Office reports.
On Sunday, Antwone Carl Tramaine Green saw the door to his neighbor Rico’s house standing open. He stuck his head inside and called out, but no one answered. He closed the door and called Rico in Miami, reports said.
While on the phone with Rico, the neighbor saw two people come out of the home with a box of crackers and a snake owned by the resident, Oscar, according to reports.
The neighbor said he detained both the suspects and called Oscar.
When deputies arrived, they found Antwone, Oscar and two juveniles standing outside the home on 28th Street SW, reports said.
The deputy who responded to the scene walked around the home and found a broken window in the back and a red handled pocketknife under the broken window, reports said.
The deputy spoke with the homeowner, Rico, on the phone about the incident. He told deputies on the phone he wanted to press charges for the break-in, reports said.
Oscar, who currently lives in the home, told deputies five of his snakes were missing and a missing box of crackers was in his driveway, reports said.
In addition, a large TV was moved from the garage to the dining room table, according to deputies.
The investigation is ongoing and no further details were available.
