Manhunt for Jewelry Heist Suspect | Orlando News
Description
Federal agents are hunting down Alberto Perez-Elias, a key suspect in a $1 million jewelry heist at Tio Jewelers in Cape Coral, Florida, where thieves tunneled in from an adjacent building, held the manager at gunpoint, and vanished with over 1,000 pieces of loot. Three others have already been charged; Perez-Elias, described as a bald, 5’6” Hispanic man with brown eyes, is now the top target—with a $50K reward for tips. If caught, he faces up to 20 years for conspiracy plus 7 mandatory years for firearm use. Investigators found stolen guns at one co-defendant’s home, and Perez-Elias may be using aliases or false DOBs. The FBI, Cape Coral PD, and Hialeah PD are working together to bring him to justice.
