Amaury Villa, 37, and his brother, Amed Villa, 46, both citizens of Cuba who live in Miami, were arrested Thursday in Miami on conspiracy and theft charges related to their alleged participation in the theft.

The thieves gained access to the 70,000-square-foot warehouse on Freshwater Boulevard by cutting a hole through its roof, descending into the interior on ropes hung from the hole and disabling the security system.

I work as an investment advisor in South Dade County. Several of my clients were in the trade in the 80s and several spent time in the pen for it. I grew up in Texas and always thought the movies were exaggerations of South Florida. I was wrong!

People who have never been to New York City thought the comedy character “Andrew Dice Clay” was an exaggeration too.

It wasn’t.

Why steal a bunch of anti-depressants and mood stabilizers? I know that’s a dumb question($). But I would go for opiates. Not alot of people addicted to Zyprexa and Prozac.
