Thief Caught On Surveillance Trying To Steal Assault Rifle By Shoving It Down His Pant!
A South Florida man was caught on surveillance video stuffing an assault rifle down his pants at a pawn shop.
Footage from the pawn shop caught 19-year-old Marlon Alvarez taking an AR-15 from a display and placing it down his pants. "The amount of courage you have to have, all those people in the store to do that," said Public Pawn & Gun store owner Kevin Hughes.
Hughes said he was suspicious of Alvarez from the beginning. "He spent about an hour and a half here, which is a little long," he said.
The owner said Alvarez took a liking to an AR-15 and managed to get the 3-foot rifle down his pants. However, he did not account for walking out of the store. Hughes then followed Alvarez outside the store and asked him politely to return the weapon. However, for safety reasons, he said he wound up tackling him to the ground and left him with quite the shiner. Alvarez was arrested Tuesday and made his first court appearance Wednesday. He was held on no bond for grand theft and the violation of a domestic violence injunction.
