November 6, 2010 Florida school guard caught burglarizing vending machines www.privateofficer.com
Hialeah Fla Nov 6 2010 A Hialeah security guard was caught in the act trying to pry open a vending machine at a Broward school to get at the money collected inside, Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives said Friday.
Sergio Riveron, 21, has hit at least a dozen schools in Broward and Miami-Dade County, snatching up candy money like a school bully.
Riveron also has an accomplice, Yumisani Hernandez, BSO said. Hernandez, 26, got away after deputies showed up at Deerfield Beach High School on Oct. 28 as the vending machine vandals were using a crowbar to crack another candy box.
Police said the men collected about $100 in dollars, quarters, dimes and nickels from each machine, which kind of makes you wonder do candy crimes really pay?
When Riveron was was caught, he had a list of other potential school targets.
BSO says the candy crooks hit machines at Deerfield Beach, Northeast, J. P. Taravella and Coral Springs high schools in Broward and Hialeah, Coral Park, Coral Reef, Miami Palmetto, South Miami, Coral Gables, Barbara Goleman and Miami Beach senior high schools in Miami-Dade.
Riveron also told investigators he was on the verge of becoming a police officer.
