BSO: Comfort Suites Scoundrel Caught On Camera

TAMARAC (CBSMiami) -- A man robbed a hotel in Tamarac and the robbery was captured on a surveillance camera.

Broward County Sheriff's Office released the video, Friday.

The images of the robber on the video are clear.

The man casually walked into the Comfort Suites at 8301 West Commercial Boulevard in Tamarac August 4 at 9:20 p.m.

The clerk said the man had an accent that was a thick southern drawl.

After asking for a room, he then pulled a gun from his waistband and pointed it at 20-year-old Jonelle Moreau.

Moreau ran, but the man appears to wave the gun to get her to return to the cash register.

Moreau can be seen handing over the money.

The man left without causing physical harm to Moreau.

She called police as soon as the man left the hotel.

Anyone with information can call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS (8477).
