MOUNT PLYMOUTH, Fla.—The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several reports of suspicious incidents in Mount Plymouth Tuesday night, including shots fired near at least two homes; and in one incident, a bullet entered a home through a sliding glass door.
According to a report, deputies responded to an unoccupied home around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday on Troon Avenue after the complainant saw an unknown person, possibly a Hispanic male, walking around the residence on surveillance video. While responding to that call, another call came in reporting a shot had been fired through a sliding glass door at a nearby home.
The victim told deputies he was sitting in the living room with his juvenile daughter when the bullet came through the sliding glass door on the backside of his home. Prior to the deputy’s arrival, the victim collected the bullet and placed into a sandwich bag. He was not wearing gloves.
The address of that home is redacted from the report, but the responding deputy noted it was a redacted number of yards away from the home where LCSO received the original complaint about the suspicious male. About a minute later, another report of shots fired was called in from Seaforth Avenue.
Eagle One, LCSO’s helicopter, and a K9 unit responded and canvassed the area with negative results.
If you have information, call LCSO at 352-343-2101.
