Three Miami, Florida, residents were arrested on Tuesday after they
reportedly made fraudulent purchases at two Jupiter shops, police said.
A Juno Beach surf shop also called police after three people tried to
make a questionable purchase.
Cherries Waffles Tennis,
19, Vincent Mitchell, 19, and Paul Miller, 22, walked into Ground Swell
Surf Shop trying to buy two Ray Ban sunglasses worth $500 and a $100
GoPro camera.
Tennis asked the clerk to punch in the credit-card number instead of swiping it. The clerk became suspicious and declined the sale, according to an arrest report. The suspects then entered Scuba Works in Jupiter and bought a $400 spear gun. They bought a GoPro camera from Kite Paddle Wake, the report said.
The Jupiter scuba shop later confirmed the credit card was declined.
Police said they spotted the suspects as they were leaving a gas
station. Cherries Waffles Tennis told police that her aunt gave her a
credit card to use but did not know where it was when police asked.
Tennis, Mitchell and Miller were booked into the Palm Beach County Jail
on charges of fraud.
