victim to put up some of her own money as collateral until

the winnings were collected, the report stated.

The two suspects got into the victim's car and were driven

around Pembroke Pines to gather up the victim's "good

faith" money, police said.

They went to the victim's bank and persuaded her to withdraw cash. They then drove to

several stores, where they had the victim pay for merchandise. They also stopped by the

victim's apartment and took all of her jewelry, investigators said.

The victim drove the suspects back to the Sedano's parking lot. The suspects had the victim

wait in the car while they went to get food, but they never returned.

They walked away with $8,500 in cash, $6,500 in merchandise and $3,000 in jewelry, police

said.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to call Pembroke Pines Police at 954-431-2200,

email [email protected], or call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

They'll never catch them. They need to round up all these illegals - oh EXCUSE ME itisnt PC to say ILLEGALS any more we have to call them UNDOCUMENTED. They'rebloody well documented somewhere because they're collecting SSI and food stamps andWIC and every other program that we're donating to with our tax money. They'veeven gone the extra mile and put little WIC stickers on the shelves in the grocery storesso they dont even have to be able to read English!
