MCSO says the areas of the Shores that have been targeted the most are the Hemlocks, Pecans, and Firs.

The burglars had their faces covered in the photos, but authorities believe someone may recognize them, as they’re likely targeting the same Silver Springs Shores neighborhood where they live.

Anyone with additional information/photographic evidence is prompted to contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 352-732-9111.
