Aptos Prowler

The Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help identifying a potential Aptos prowler. Over the past few months, several Aptos residents have captured surveillance video of this man prowling around their yards. He has distinct tattoos on both hands and knuckles but we are having a hard time identifying him. Please watch the video paying attention to his clothing, body language, and tattoos. If you recognize him please contact us at 831-471-1121 or send us a message. Share the post to help us spread the word.
