Joseph Paul Putzulu has been arrested and charged with burglary and grand theft after being caught on video stealing over $1,000 worth of lobster from a Miami eatery. The suspect was identified through video surveillance and was found to be the same person who had stolen lobsters from the restaurant previously.
Suspect Joseph Paul Putzulu was charged with two felony counts of burglary of an unoccupied structure and one count of third-degree grand theft.
The business owner reviewed video surveillance and saw that the suspect was the same man who stole several packs of lobsters from the restaurant on July 23. Surveillance video from the July 23 allegedly shows Putzulu loading the lobster packs into a garbage bin. He then threw the garbage bin and a hand truck over the fence and fled.
The suspect was seen throwing food in the July 26 video footage as well. The owner said that the stolen lobsters were worth over $1,000. "The defendant is seen throwing what appears to be packs of food over the rear gated fence," the arrest affidavit read."At approximately 2:51 a.m., the suspect is seen using a black cart to assist him to climb back over the gated fence to leave.
