St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Daniel Eugene Holmes, 42, on Wednesday after linking him to a series of burglaries in the St. Lucie Village area. Deputies responded to the 2900 block of North Indian River Drive after receiving a report of a suspicious person. Upon arrival, deputies located Holmes going through trash near the roadway and observed a bicycle in his possession with fishing equipment attached to it.
During their investigation, deputies determined Holmes matched the description of a person of interest developed during an ongoing burglary investigation in St. Lucie Village.

Holmes was arrested on charges of two counts of burglary of a conveyance, and loitering and prowling. The investigation remains active.
