The crime took place at a home in the 18760 block of NW 53rd Court Road in Reddick.
They have security camera footage of the man they’re looking for. He was wearing a green bandana to cover his face but has some very identifiable tattoos on his arms. The footage is dated, Monday, Aug. 14.
A post on the MCSO Facebook page says, “Luckily, a surveillance camera had a bird’s eye view and his ruffled rumpus was caught on camera. Now we need you – our eagle-eyed readers – to help us identify this pigeon pirate.”
Deputies are hoping to get the homing pigeons back and reunite them with their owners.
