Three men found themselves in handcuffs after being pulled over on Highway 90 in Pace, Santa Rosa County, Florida. The reason for the traffic stop? A violation of window tint regulations.
According to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, three individuals, namely Andrew Bishop (18 years old), Brad Fokam (19 years old), and Dylon Thomas (20 years old), were found in a vehicle associated with a string of ATM burglaries in Mississippi, Alabama, and Pensacola. These burglaries were reportedly connected to an organized crime ring operating out of Houston.
According to authorities, the suspects employed a method known as the Super Glue Card technique to render ATMs inoperable. They would then lay in wait for repair technicians, using the opportunity to seize the cash.
During the stop, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s County discovered a significant amount of fentanyl, synthetic cannabinoids, marijuana, and ATM burglary paraphernalia in the car.
The suspects are being charged with various crimes, such as trafficking fentanyl, possessing synthetic drugs with the intent to sell, providing false identification to law enforcement (Fokam and Thomas), and possessing a controlled substance.
