FLORIDA DETECTIVE UNCOVERS $15 MILLION ROBBERY RING

摘要

Det. Brent Hoosac of the Jupiter (Fla.) Police Department was instrumental in uncovering a burglary ring that was involved in 75 high-end residential burglaries and stole approximately $15 million worth of property. For his efforts in solving this case and his dedication to his job and community he has been recognized as the May 2012 Officer of the Month by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Of the 18 years he's spent at the Jupiter Police Department, Hoosac has focused on economic crimes for 10 and served on a money-laundering task force for part of that time. As part of his agency's Criminal Investigation Section, one of the bigger cases he's worked on involved a string of burglaries that occurred in 2009. A multi-agency task force established to investigate the burglaries determined the ring was based in Miami, had hit a wall and were unable to make any arrests. That was until Hoosac began delving into the suspects' financial records.
