Feeding South Florida, a food bank that aids millions of food-insecure residents, is asking for the community's help finding vital kitchen equipment worth thousands of dollars and bringing the men responsible to justice.

Caught on video: Children pull off 11-second heist at Fort Lauderdale electronics store, police say
Fort Lauderdale police are investigating after they said a group of young thieves executed a swift smash-and-grab at an electronics repair store early Thursday morning, making off with thousands of dollars in stolen devices in just 11 seconds. Surveillance video from Techy Repair on Las Olas Boulevard shows three children racing into the store after one of them threw a brick through the front window around 1 a.m. The masked burglars quickly grabbed high-end electronics before fleeing.

Family seeks justice in deadly hit-and-run that took 80-year-old mom, wife in Oakland Park
OAKLAND PARK - Two weeks after an 80-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run just a block from her home, her family is pleading for answers. Barbara Price was crossing Powerline Road north of Oakland Park Boulevard around 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 29 when a light blue Land Rover, built between 2005 and 2009, struck her and kept going. Broward Sheriff's Office investigators recovered pieces of a turn signal cover, a fog light and paint chips, but the driver remains unidentified. Her son, Joel Ragland, traveled from Chicago to care for his stepfather, Gary Price, who suffers from dementia and to make a public appeal for information. "We are all accountable. It's unfortunate they left the scene. We as a family forgive them, but you have to deal with the law now," Ragland said. Detective Michael Wiley, who is leading the investigation, said evidence suggests the driver may not have seen Price before impact. The tragedy has left Price's husband without his primary caregiver. With his mother gone, Ragland is now searching for an assisted living facility that can provide the round-the-clock care his stepfather needs. "She loved this man, fully expected to take care of him till he died," Ragland said. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
