Duo sought in pawn shop jewelry heist; with video
A pawn shop crook got caught on camera with his hand in the jewelry case. Now detectives need help identifying him and his female accomplice.
Female suspect 1
For weeks, detectives have been following leads trying to track down the duo that pulled off the daytime theft at the Pawn Max in Lauderdale Lakes after distracting store employees. During the May 16 heist, one of the suspects walked into the store and was looking at the jewelry case, then proceeded to look at other merchandise while texting on his phone.
Moments later, a customer and a pregnant woman walked into the business. The woman distracted the store manager asking questions about the televisions, as another store clerk assisted the male customer. Once the first suspect confirmed that all the employees were busy, he walked over to the jewelry case, lifted the top glass and took the jewelry.
He stuffed two gold and diamond pendants, worth more than $1,500, in his pocket and quickly exited the store. The woman followed him out moments after.
Male suspect
The manager later realized the jewelry had been stolen and contacted the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
The black pregnant female is described as being between 25-35-years-old, about 5’3” tall, weighs approximately 120 lbs., has reddish/brown hair with a few blonde streaks on the right front side, and piercings in her right eyebrow and nostril. The suspect, seen on video wearing the white cap, is a black male, about 6’2” tall, weighing approximately 200 lbs., and has a thin beard,
Anyone with information should contact BSO Detective Gabriel Aragon, Jr., at 954-497-1646 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS or www.browardcrimestoppers.org. The anonymous call can amount to a payoff of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
