Surveillance video shows box-wearing bandit allegedly burglarizing Florida grocery store

A Florida man donned a unique disguise to burglarize a Miami Gardens supermarket.

Claude Vincent Griffin Jr., 33, was caught on surveillance cameras haphazardly wearing a cardboard box as a mask when breaking into a glass display containing iPhones. Police allege that Griffin stole over $30,000 worth of merchandise, according to an arrest affidavit.

Authorities charged Griffin, who they say is homeless, with 11 criminal counts, including burglary, grand theft, criminal mischief, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest.

Security camera footage shows a burglar wearing a box over his head, breaking into a phone repair shop in.

The manager of Miami Gardens’ Price Choice Supermarket said he learned that his store was burglarized early Saturday morning three separate times by the same intruder, according to the affidavit. A review of the store’s surveillance system quickly revealed many of the details of the incident.

Police allege that Griffin entered the supermarket unmasked through a rear door typically used to access product storage. The store’s security alarm, which was functional at the time of the incidents, according to police, did not go off at any time over the three incidents.
