SUN CITY CENTER, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office apprehended four armed subjects involved in what appeared to be an ambush-style home invasion on June 10, 2023, in the Cypress Creek neighborhood of Sun City Center, FL.
HCSO Aviation units, while conducting routine surveillance, detected a suspicious vehicle in the Cypress Creek neighborhood with subjects approaching a residence on Miller Creek Drive.
Two subjects threw a brick at the door and crouched at the corners of the residence, waiting for someone to exit. While that was happening, one person served as a lookout at a home across the street, while one stayed in the car.

When no one answered, the subjects fled, committing multiple traffic violations while leaving the area. Patrol units initiated a traffic stop, but the driver refused to comply. While fleeing, the vehicle struck a curb and all occupants fled on foot.
During the pursuit, the subjects discarded three firearms. The recovered firearms included:
- Glock 20 with a round in the chamber
- Two Glock 22s, one which had a fully loaded magazine and one round in the chamber
A Milsport .556 Semi-automatic with a brass catcher attached, along with a Smith & Wesson 40 caliber drum magazine containing 42 rounds and two extra fully loaded magazines, were inside the vehicle.
