Meet 54 y/o Francisco Hernandez (left) and 50 y/o Jesus Antonio Sanchez (right). Those are their respective mug shots below….
These two (2) knuckleheads were arrested in Winter Haven, FL in the early hours of Saturday morning, July 11th, 2015 after a traffic stop where they were observed by police driving this down the road….
No, your eyes do not deceive you and yes, that is a bank ATM machine in the flatbed of a pickup truck. It is also what the cops refer to – in this case literally (although the term is usually used in a more figurative sense) – as “Rolling PC” (PC =’s probable cause, and below are two (2) examples of figurative rolling PC).
Before that glorious moment (which will forever be inscribed in Winter Haven PD lore) however, these genii managed to steal a backhoe from a construction site, drive it to the Center State Bank branch in Winter Haven, use it to smash down a wall and load a freshly disconnected ATM machine onto the flatbed of their “getaway” pickup. The incident was caught on surveillance video and you can watch the video here.
Per the cops, notwithstanding the fact that there was an unopened ATM machine and part of a brick wall in the back of the pickup these genii told the Deputies that they had been gathering scrap metal but that they could not remember where they had gathered the, er, items in the back of the truck.
