• Facial Recognition Leads Coconut Creek Police to Man Accused of Taking Three Lawn Mowers From Home Depot (TAPinto.net) — Coconut Creek police used facial recognition to identify a man they say twice walked out of the local Home Depot on State Road 7 with high-end lawn mowers, leading to a grand theft charge. Detectives linked surveillance images to prior jail photos, and a store cashier later picked the suspect from a lineup. A judge has set bond while the third-degree felony case moves forward.
