“The total loss from the six charged robberies was $33,795, according to the indictment. Law enforcement has linked Stewart, Newsome and Belser to more than 50 cellphone store robberies.”
That comes out to no more than an average of $676 per store, which is below $950, and therefore not a crime.
That’s about 1 mid-range phone per store, isn’t it?
The $33,795 was from the six robberies mentioned in the indictment. That certainly was not less than $950 per store. They got too greedy.
