couple hits Babies R Us and Toys R Us over 50 times in
Broward and Miami-Dade counties A
couple suspected in more than 50 elaborate thefts of
children's products worth $36,000 was arrested Tuesday as
they shopped with two children, Broward Sheriff's detectives
said. Yanderi Soto, 30, and Edgar Portela, 30, are facing
charges for an organized scheme to defraud and criminal
conspiracy. Surveillance videos from several Toys 'R' Us and
Babies 'R' Us stores in Broward and Miami-Dade showed Soto
often pushing a baby stroller through the doors and around
the stores. The couple would buy the big-ticket items and
leave. They would return to the store at a later date,
select the same items from the store shelves, and return
those new items using the receipt from the previous
purchase, detectives said. They also used old baby
registries to return items they picked up off the store
shelves. The pair would then list the stolen items for sale
online, officials said. Both Portela and Soto have arrest
records that include charges of grand theft, burglary and
fraud, according to the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement. On Tuesday, security officers at Babies 'R' Us
recognized the couple entering the store in Pembroke Pines
and called sheriff's detectives who showed up to make the
arrests. (Source
