Two Allegedly Steal Orlando Magic Tickets and Money
The NBA finals have much of Orlando fired up as the Magic take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Along with the finals come people looking to make lots of money from scalping tickets. Plenty of people do this and do it well enough to keep them in business for a while. Unfortunately, when people walk around with tickets to these games, some people believe the best way to see the game or make money is to take the tickets from the holders, as well as anything else they can.
On Tuesday, a car pulled up next to a man who was wearing a VIP guest pass around his neck. The passenger asked the man where his seats were, and when he pulled out the four tickets he had to check the seating, he was allegedly grabbed by the lanyard, pulled toward the vehicle, and had his tickets snatched by the man in the car.
Not long after, another man holding a sign that read, “I need tickets” was approached by two men in a car who flashed four tickets. The sign holder pulled out $500 to pay for the tickets and approached the car. The passenger in the car grabbed the money and the driver sped off.
Both men who were stolen from gave the Orlando police detailed descriptions and the car was located a short time later. Two men were charged with robbery by sudden snatching. The police gave the ticket holder back the four tickets, but the other man was not given back his money and has no idea if the two alleged thieves still had it on them when they were arrested.
Though there are easier and safer ways to see the NBA finals than to steal someone’s tickets or money, people sometimes make an egregious error in judgment. This error can seriously impact their future schooling, employment, and more. The experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm don’t believe that a mistake like this should ruin someone’s life.
If you have been charged with theft in Orange County or Orlando, Florida, please contact the Umansky Law Firm for an initial and confidential consultation. We also serve clients throughout the state of Florida.
