Arrest in Serial Office Burglaries

A 33-year-old man has been arrested in connection to several office burglaries in downtown Sarasota, according to Sarasota Police.

Sarasota Police say that fingerprints left at the Law Office of Dozier and Dozier, burglarized on March 13, led them to David Radney.

Radney, who describes himself as homeless, was arrested on March 15 while walking in the area of 10th St. and N. Orange Av. in downtown Sarasota.

Police also linked Radney to three more break-ins at 200 S. Washington Boulevard. Two of the offices had been burglarized, with the third being an attempted burglary.

Victims were the Law Office of Andrea Mogensen, Horizon Mortgage and Alliance Francaise. Evidence found at the scene of these burglaries was processed. A fingerprint at Horizon Mortgage was also linked to Radney, police said.

Radney was arrested on the Dozier and Dozier warrant. Detectives have also charged Radney with the Horizon Mortgage burglary, due to the fingerprint that was identified.

The investigation of these burglaries is ongoing and additional charges are pending at this time.

Radney has a criminal history of burglarizing businesses, especially law offices.

Radney was just released from prison in November of 2012 after serving four out of six years on 12 burglary convictions.

Anyone with information on these burglaries or about David Radney should contact Detective Kim Laster at (941) 364-7327.
