ORLANDO, Fla. -- Police have arrested four of five suspects who they say terrorized at least 12 victims into giving up their ATM cards and bank-access codes.
The men allegedly are responsible for 11 attacks in southwest Orlando that netted them between $5,000 and $10,000 in cash. In all, there were 12 victims, many of whom were pistol-whipped while being kidnapped, assaulted and robbed.
“I think they were a little more violent toward the end,” said Detective Marlon McClain of the Orlando police robbery unit.
Those arrested are Alonzo Bouie, 18; Broderick Thomas, 17; Torri Gainer, 23; and Jarvis Carr, 21. As of Thursday afternoon, police were still looking for Michael Postell, 20. All are from Orlando.
All those arrested face charges of armed kidnapping, armed robbery and aggravated battery; police also are considering adding charges of grand-theft auto and home invasion.
