STUART, Fla. Cameras a man set up at his home led to his arrest for suspected drug dealing, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.

Juan Dejesus Cabral, 26, wanted to record people as they came and went from his house out of fear of being robbed, according to the sheriff’s office. Sheriff’s office detectives seized the cameras after executing a search warrant on his Norfolk Street home.

Detectives found crack cocaine, hydromorphone, and drug paraphernalia inside, and they’ll use the cameras to identify people who bought drugs from Cabral, the sheriff’s office said.

Six cameras were mounted around the property, and one was trained on a shed where some of the drugs were stored, according to the sheriff’s office.

Cabral is facing charges of possession of cocaine, possession of hydromorphone and possession of drug paraphernalia. His girlfriend, 20-year old Julie Rembert, was arrested and faces a drug possession charge. Both were taken to the Martin County Jail.
