Three men from the San Francisco Bay Area face federal charges after a dramatic armed robbery in Sweetwater, Florida, where they attempted to steal $170,000 worth of Apple products while wearing Michael Myers masks. Authorities confirmed that the suspects, Aaron Brown, Ranier Landry, and Eric Chase, used BB guns to threaten employees, zip-tied six workers, and forced one employee inside the premises before a police chase ensued. Their plan quickly unraveled as police arrived, resulting in a shootout that left one suspect injured.
The robbery not only highlights the growing concern over security in high-end electronics businesses but also features a striking detail: investigators identified Brown partly by the “neon green underwear” visible beneath his clothing, which was captured in video footage. Having flown in for the heist, the suspects abandoned their stolen items during their escape attempt, leading to their eventual capture in Medley. They are currently being held in Broward County Jail while federal charges are pursued against them.
