"Once the suspects dismantled and cut the wires to each light, they plced them into black trash bags and fled from the business with over $5,000 worth of property,"

Police released surveillance footage of the suspects, who were caught in the act:

Anyone with further information regarding this incident or the identity of these suspects is encouraged to contact Detective Michael Benson at 954-828-6561 or the Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477(TIPS).
