Imagine a mother and father, using their seven kids to help them commit a crime.
Sheriff’Sheriff’s officials say that’s what happened at a Toys “R” Us in suburban Boca Raton. Surveillance cameras were rolling when a family of nine came into the Toys “R” Us store in the Mission Bay Plaza.
There was a mother, a father and 7 kids between the ages of 3 and 13. Video from the security cameras show the kids going to the electronics section of the toy store, where the tablets are on display. According to investigators, the children appeared in and out of the video as if they were climbing under the cabinets.Store management at the Toys “R” Us told the sheriff’s office they feel the parents had instructed the kids to undo the security devices that were attached to the tablets. Investigators believe the kids succeeded in removing two of the security devices from the tablets.
The parents then walked by the shelves and took two of the tablets and the whole family left the store together. “That’s awful, that’s awful. They should you know, teach good principles, good manners, how to be polite,” said Lis Santos, a shopper from Margate.
“I think that’s quite unfortunate, you would be under the impression that a parent would be a good role model for younger children. Unfortunately those are the things that are going on in society nowadays,” said Josh Borrero, a shopper from Boca Raton.
The video shows they were in the store for about 20 minutes. The two tablets they took, a Tabeo E2 and a Polaroid 10.1, were worth over $300 dollars. Authorities ask anyone with information about this incident to contact Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 800-458-8477.
