According to the victim, a female suspect was captured on the victim’s home surveillance system entering the residence multiple times on October 11 while the victim was out of town. The victim reported to deputies that a large amount of cash was missing from the residence upon his return.

In reviewing the surveillance footage, the victim was able to identify the suspect as a cohabitant of the victim’s landlord. The female, identified as 33-year-old Dorothy Lucas, was located and contacted at a nearby residence. Inside the residence, deputies located a speaker which was found to have also been stolen from the victim’s residence.
