FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have arrested three men believed to be responsible for stealing equipment from boats.

According to the general manager of Universal Marine, the crooks knew what they were doing when they were caught on surveillance video riding a golf cart and taking off with thousands of dollars worth of electronics. "It was a rainy, dark night. They knew what they were doing. They knew the yard," said Butch Risker. "It didn't take them no time to get my golf cart."

Officials said the burglars were attempting to pawn the items when they got arrested.

Fort Lauderdale Police said they're investigating eleven burglaries throughout the city.

If you have any information on this burglary, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
