In Florida, a burglar probably thought he was being sneaky by pulling the back of his shirt up over his head and face so he would be unrecognizable while he broke into the Moose Lodge in Charlotte County, but that was certainly not the case.
According to the Herald Tribune, the method backfired when a small, unique tattoo on the man’s back was clearly shown on images recorded during the burglary by surveillance cameras that were set up in the lodge.
In turn, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office broadcast images of the tattoo, and it paid off when someone called after recognizing the tattoo belonging to a 41-year-old Charlotte County man.
Following up on the tip, deputies arrested Thomas Kevin Pegg in connection with the burglary of the Moose Lodge.
Pegg was jailed and charged with burglary and theft.
