CASSELBERRY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Casselberry police need help identifying a man who tried breaking into a safe at Arby's using a blow torch.

Police said the suspect was caught on surveillance video the day after Christmas using a crow bar to disable the alarm at the Arby’s on State Road 436. 

Investigators said the man left for several hours then returned with a blow torch and spent nearly two hours trying to open the safe. 

Officers said he was unsuccessful and left the store.

Police think the same guy used a blow torch to break into an office and safe at an Altamonte Springs Chipotle, stealing nearly $1,600 back in July. 

He was also caught on surveillance camera during that burglary.

Detectives said the suspect was wearing a blue jacket, yellow gloves and dark beanie in the video. 

If you recognize him, call Casselberry or Altamonte Springs police departments, or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
