LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators are looking for a barefoot man they say broke into and snooped around a mobile home park's clubhouse early Monday morning.

According to Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers, the person in the surveillance images here broke a lock to gain entry into the clubhouse at Buccaneer Mobile Home Park on N. Tamiami Trail in North Fort Myers around 1 a.m.

Once inside, he began to rummage through the kitchen drawers, locked freezers, and other locked cabinets.  Although it is not believed that the suspect ended up removing any items from the clubhouse, he did damage property during his escapade.
 
The suspect is a white male, who wore a long sleeved white shirt during the crime.  He has numerous tattoos on his arms and legs and wore no shoes during the break-in.  

Anyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).  All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000.  Tips may also be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
