Alleged Suspect Caught in Theft of Video Games

Just in time for Christmas, Orlando police uncovered an alleged suspected retail theft ring that began when a witness spotted someone stealing a hubcap from a parked car in the parking lot of a Babies R Us. Police then stopped the vehicle the suspect was in and allegedly found over $4500 in stolen video games and a list of Toys R Us locations from Miami to Gainesville. Four hubcaps that were allegedly stolen were on the backseat of the vehicle. Also found was a purse lined with tape and a metallic material, as well as other devices police believe were used for retail theft.

Three men were arrested on multiple charges, including retail theft and grand theft.

Grand theft is a serious offense to be charged with. In addition to fines, you may find yourself spending time in prison. First time offender have a better chance than repeat offenders of being given probation. Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer may even have the fine or probation time reduced. Two of the individuals who were arrested for the stolen video games made bail and were released less than two days later. Hiring a criminal defense attorney should be their next step.

If you have been charged with theft in the Orange County or Orlando, Florida area, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm for an initial case consultation.
