A Cocoa Beach burglary case took an unusual turn this week after police say a man hired to help move someone out of their home returned overnight and made himself a little too comfortable.According to the Cocoa Beach Police Department, officers responded to a Carmine Drive residence on June 15 around 12:37 p.m. after the homeowner, who was in the middle of moving and not on site, spotted an unknown man entering and leaving the house on their doorbell camera. Officers searched the area but the man had already taken off.Detectives kept digging and identified him as 41-year-old Steven Snooks, who had no address listed. Investigators say Snooks had actually worked at the home as an employee of a moving company the victim previously hired. After the job was done, police say he came back overnight without permission, ate the homeowner’s food, used the shower, and slept in a bed inside the residence.Snooks was located by patrol officers and taken into custody on June 18. He was booked into the Brevard County Jail and is being held on a $15,000 bond.The case is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Rosa of the Cocoa Beach Police Department at 321-868-3248. ... See MoreSee Less
