ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A plot to rob a shipment of Apple’s
newest iPad from a central Florida store was foiled by an Orange County
Sheriff’s deputy.
The sheriff’s office says 24-year-old Jasmin
Roman and 26-year-old Juan Carlos Ortiz Valez bought guns, handcuffs,
black clothes and other items to rob the Best Buy store near Orlando’s
Florida Mall early Thursday.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://thesent.nl/x7w2VG ) reports the plot was
foiled by a deputy patrolling the area in an
unmarked vehicle. The deputy became suspicious after spotting a U-Haul.
The couple eventually told arriving deputies of their plan.
Roman,
a Best Buy employee, was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit
robbery and conspiracy to commit kidnapping with a gun. Valez, a former
store employee, was arrested on a count of conspiracy to commit
kidnapping with a gun.
