Family teams up for arcade robbery, with mom as the getaway driver, FL cops say
A family outing turned criminal when a man decided to rob an arcade and used his mom as the getaway driver, according to investigators in Florida. It happened Friday, July 18, at the Kings World Arcade in Fort Myers, and investigators say surveillance video led to the duo's capture days later. 'This family took game night way too seriously,' the Lee County Sheriff's Office wrote in a July 23 news release 'Witnesses reported a man entered the business, held the cashier at gun point, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses captured the suspect running and jumping into a RAV4.' Sheriff's office analysts used Department of Transportation footage and license plate reader data to identify the vehicle's driver as Yideyla Suarez Cedeno, 43, of Cape Coral, officials said. She was arrested Tuesday, July 22, and 'her son 22-year-old Jose Baez Surez, was also on scene and detained,' the sheriff's office said. 'Following an investigation by Violent Crimes Detectives, it was determined that Jose Suarez entered the arcade, demanded money and fled while his mother waited nearby, acting as the getaway driver,' officials said. 'Deputies recovered clothing along with a black BB gun, resembling the handgun used in the robbery.' The mother and son have both been charged with robbery, officials said. Fort Myers is about a 125-mile drive southeast from Tampa.

Man goes to friend's house to buy game console and wakes up zip-tied, FL cops say
A man arranged to buy a PlayStation 5 from a friend, then he was choked until he lost consciousness and woke up duct-taped and zip-tied, Florida authorities said. He escaped when his accused kidnapper fell asleep, and now 32-year-old Nicolas Flores is facing charges of kidnapping, robbery with a weapon, and possession of a controlled substance, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The victim told investigators he went to Flores' house in Lehigh Acres on July 7 to buy a PlayStation 5 when Flores got out a machete, deputies said. The man said Flores choked him unconscious, and when he woke up, his wrists and legs were bound, according to the sheriff's office. Flores held the man captive and began transferring money from the victim's bank account to his own over the course of the next few hours, deputies said. Eventually Flores fell asleep, and the man escaped early the next morning, he told investigators. Law enforcement was alerted to what happened, and the victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. When investigators went to the southwest Florida home to execute a search warrant, Flores walked outside and was placed in handcuffs, according to a video shared by the sheriff's office. Deputies said they found the items Flores is accused of using to restrain the victim, as well as a cocktail of cocaine and fentanyl. Lehigh Acres is about a 20-mile drive east from Fort Myers.
