PEMBROKE PINES, FLA. (WSVN) - Police seek the public’s help in their search for trio of crafty crooks who, detectives said, targeted an elderly man inside a restaurant in Pembroke Pines.
According to Pembroke Pines Police, the victim was sitting with someone at the La Granja location on Pines Boulevard when a man wearing a face mask walked in their direction, just after 11:35 a.m., March 6.
Surveillance video captures the male subject dropping cash over the divider near the victim’s table. That distraction allowed a woman to reach over the wall and grab the man’s bag.
Once they grabbed the victim’s belongings, the trio walked away.
