Thief fakes heart attack in Florida Walmart for the sake of $369 worth of toys


This is something that beats imagination. Just picture two young men who planned to steal from the Walmart store in Florida. One of them faked a heart attack and, as people crowded around him, his friend coolly walked away with the trolley containing the toys.
As per reports, the men were 30-year-old Tarus Scott and 27-year-old Genard Dupree and police have arrested both of them on grand theft charges – the cost of the toys was $369. The Polk County Sheriff's office has revealed that the men filled a shopping cart with a motorized power wheel Barbie car, Leap Frog tablet and a Barbie Glam vacation house. They had walked through the store together.
The video surveillance camera shows Dupree on the floor near the store entrance, clutching his chest, imitating a heart attack. As concerned citizens checked on him, Scott walked out of the store with the cart. And - once Scott was outside, Dupree got up and walked out. The duo finally left the place in a silver SUV. However, the deputies caught up with them. Incidentally, the two are not novices – both of them have prior arrests. Scott had served a 10-year prison sentence at the Everglades Correctional Institution for armed robbery while Dupree reportedly has 24 prior arrests and is on probation for theft.
It is difficult to understand why they stooped so low as to steal toys worth $369.
