A Cape Coral man was arrested after allegedly entering a homeowner's backyard and attempting to steal a decorative turtle before hiding in the bushes.
Cade Logan, 29, was reportedly arrested on Friday after Cape Coral police responded to a home for reports of a suspicious person on the property.
The homeowner called the police and reported that Logan was walking around inside the enclosed pool cage.
Officers arrived on the scene and saw the homeowner pointing to the backyard, where Logan was still known to be.
An officer found Logan hiding in the bushes. The officer announced himself and gave commands to Logan, who then came out.
The homeowner told officers they were sleeping when they heard weird noises on their lanai.
After checking their security cameras, they saw Logan enter the lanai and steal a decorative turtle.
The turtle was recovered and given back to the homeowners.
Logan was taken to the Lee County Jail and charged with one count of burglary and one count of petit theft.
