An Indiana man accused of going on a stealing spree in Florida was arrested Friday, deputies said.
Liam Ferris Engel, 18, faces multiple charges, including grand theft and burglary.
Authorities said deputies responded to North Johnson Drive after receiving reports of a trespasser.
A witness told deputies they saw Engel inside a pickup truck, confronted him, and watched him leave the area.
Deputies said security footage showed Engel on a motorcycle at the property, where he appeared to try to steal it but was unsuccessful.
Engel was later stopped by deputies while riding a golf cart that he claimed he was renting.
According to deputies, the golf cart had been stolen from a residence in Sugarloaf Key.
