A man who was captured on camera making a failed burglary attempt in Hialeah appeared before a judge, Thursday.
Dean Young, 26, stood before Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Victoria S. Sigler after being charged with attempted burglary and criminal mischief.
According to the police report, Young allegedly parked his gray Hyundai next to a landscaper’s van that was working outside of a home near East 19th Street, Wednesday afternoon.
Ring camera video from the homeowner, Nercy Toldeo, captured the moment the would-be burglar snuck into the back of the van, where he soon found out he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
“Get out of the car,” Toledo is heard shouting at Young from her front porch.
“I can’t, I’m stuck,” Young said.
Young found himself stuck and out of luck inside the work vehicle after his alleged plan to steal lawn equipment backfired and left him locked up in the van.
The incident reportedly happened in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon.
“Gets into his truck, tries to steal his stuff, but unfortunately, the gentleman got locked in,” said Toledo.
Toledo told 7News the landscaper simply locked his vehicle, derailing the criminal mastermind’s fragile plan.
“The owner of the truck went to lock his vehicle, but that lock locks all the doors, even in the back, so what happened is he locked him in,” she said.
After realizing his poorly constructed plan fell apart, Young allegedly began to panic, kicking the doors and screaming for help. He even asked that they don’t call 911.
“He starts yelling, ‘I can’t breathe’ and ‘Don’t call police,'” the landscaper told 7News in Spanish.
The owner of the lawncare business kept him locked inside the van until Hialeah Police officers arrived.

A thief is no "gentleman."
“‘I can’t breathe’ “
Do I need to look?
“No Puedo Respirar!”
A home renovator I know was renovating a home . He went up to the top of his ladder and that’s when the thieves would steal the stuff from his truck. He learned that putting a revolver by his side in plain sight stopped that right away.
Locked him in the van. Good thing it was florida. In California Toledo would probably be charged with unlawful imprisonment or even kidnapping.
The video is worth watching. . America’s Dumbest Criminals material.
LOL. He was out on bond from another crime when he did this...
“Good thing it was florida. In California Toledo would probably be charged with unlawful imprisonment or even kidnapping.”
Reread the article.
Black dude trying to steal from hard working Cubans... What could go wrong? LOL!!!
We are looking at the life poor Trayvon might have lived.
More than two years and no trial and conviction? I think I see the problem here.
“The video is worth watching. . America’s Dumbest Criminals material...”
I was tempted to go rent a van and do some “setups”!
I could do that all day!
Ah, “The I’m too stupid to actually commit my intended crime” defense.
I’m sure that he can find a liberal judge that’ll absolve him of any crime.
“Liberal judge” = Maxi oximoron.
Will claim he was kidnapped and charge the owner of the van.
Was he trying to steal some work boots?
“Was he trying to steal some work boots?”
Yes but he saw a library card and it scared him off.
Couldn’t break a window?
Miami-Dade.... Black perp... “FIRST GAY” white woman judge... “Sigler was known for her advocacy and community involvement, including mentoring LGBTQ law students”
Arrest the van owner for kidnapping and award the perp 10 million dollars in damages.
