Three suspects were arrested this past Friday (22 October) for a business robbery they committed on Goldman Street in Florida.
While the owner of the shop was busy counting cash in his shop at approximately 7.15pm a man, pretending to be a customer, came in and asked how much a cellphone charger was. He suddenly grabbed the cash from the owner without saying anything and ran towards an Audi A4 parked nearby. The owner gave chase and when he tried to open the door of the suspect’s car it drove off and he fell.
