BROOKSVILLE, FL – On Friday, April 9, 2021 at approximately 10:49 p.m., Hernando County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Synovus Bank located at 1000 S. Broad Street in reference to a report of burglary in progress. A representative from the bank notified the Sheriff’s Office of a possible intruder inside the bank.

According to detectives, the suspect smashed a glass door to gain entry into the bank and was able to access and remove various rolls of coins prior to exiting the bank. The suspect got into a dark-colored four-door sedan and fled the area. Utilizing video surveillance the suspect was described as a male wearing a blue hoodie-style jacket, blue jeans, white shoes, and a dark-colored facemask.

The HCSO Crime Analysis Unit was able to develop a possible suspect due to the similar nature of the burglary involving a bank to ones that were committed in Hernando County several years prior. Detectives then gathered additional video surveillance from neighboring businesses that further helped identify the suspect as Tyrone Michael Brinkley, 52, in the bank burglary.

Brinkley recently served eight years in federal prison for multiple counts of Burglary at Banks in Hernando County and other jurisdictions and is currently on probation. A warrant was issued for Brinkley’s arrest on April 13, 2021.
