SEMINOLE -- Pinellas County sheriff's deputies and Largo police want the public's help in locating a man wanted in connection with 10 residential burglaries.
Each of the burglaries took place during the day in the Seminole and Largo areas, the Sheriff's Office said. The first occurred on Jan. 22, the most recent on Monday.
Sheriff's investigators said the suspect follows the same method: He kicks in the front door then rummages through dressers and drawers in search of cash, jewelry and small electronics. A surveillance camera captured the man wearing socks over his hands, above, in an effort to hide fingerprints.
Another surveillance video released by Largo police reportedly shows the same man and a woman using stolen debit cards to make purchases at a Publix supermarket in the Tri-City Shopping Center. Police say those cards were stolen during one of four burglaries in Largo.
Authorities described the suspect as a white male, approximately 30 years old, about 6 feet tall and about 180 pounds. He has brown hair, but is balding. He wears eyeglasses and was unshaven at the time of the Feb. 25 burglary.
The woman is described as white, in her mid to late 20s, with long black hair often worn in a pony tail.
The two may drive a two-door, gold car.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Ward Snyder of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Burglary Unit at (727) 582-6200 or Detective. B. Arlington with the Largo Police Department at (727) 587-6728.
To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS.

Me two rotties would stop him right in his tracks were he to kick my front door in. They'd lay quiet, and once he's in they'd ambush him.
