Brazen Robbery in Pembroke Park: Video
Normally we don’t cover Broward County events but this one has such a compelling video we thought our readers might want to see it.
From the Broward Sheriff:
Employees and customers of a Pembroke Park cell phone store were shocked when two masked men rushed in armed with an assault rifle.
At 1:25 p.m. on July 1, three suspects drove up to the Metro PCS store in Pembroke Park. They parked a grey or dark-colored 2010 to 2014 Nissan Maxima in front of the store. The driver remained in the car, but two men got out and ran into the store. Both men covered their faces, and one of them carried a black semi-automatic assault rifle with a scope in his right hand.
Editor’s note: There is no such thing as a “semi-automatic assault rifle.” Assault rifles, by definition, are capable of fully automatic fire.
The two men entered the store screaming, “Give me the register.” They pointed the rifle at the victims and ordered the three employees and four customers, including a baby, not to move. The employees quickly handed the robbers three cash drawers.
Detectives are searching for a male, approximately 6’ tall with a very thin build. He used a black T-shirt to cover his face. He wore a black T-shirt and light-colored pants. He carried a black semi-automatic assault rifle in his right hand. The second suspect is a male, approximately 5’8” with a thin build. He wore a black or dark grey shirt with grey pants.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Theophilus Woulard at (954) 321-4553 or report anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers of Broward County at (954) 493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $3,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
