the police. I am the police. [Music] We got the other one. Hey, now they thought I had multiple bars. I don't know. That's what they're saying. On the morning of September 5th, 2024 in Orlando, Florida, what began as a simple gas station stop unraveled into something far more calculated. Three teens masked up and armed were caught in a high-tech crime with realorld consequences. They thought it was just gas money, but what officers uncovered was an active fraud ring in motion. This is the story of a gas station sting and how a digital banking alert exposed far more than a fuel scam. Atlanta, please. When officers arrived, they noticed a green Fidelity bank card reported to have had $1,000 withdrawn that day alone. Further investigation revealed even more stolen cards, all victims of the scammer's operation. We got the other ones here. Oh, hey now. Hey now. Hey now. Where'd that money go? Did it take it back in there? All right. Hey, funny. Let's go. This guy's all zeroed up, too. Wearing a mask. In Orlando, what seemed like a routine gas station stop turned into the unraveling of a wellorganized credit card fraud operation. Three teenagers were caught red-handed installing and removing a skimming device at AWA. Their goal, drain unsuspecting victim's bank accounts. But one alert changed everything. A victim received a live banking notification and called authorities. Hey, how you doing, sir? Right on the window for me. Hey, sit by the car. I talk to you real quick. All right. You got a gun on you? No. Where's the gun at? Uh, it's in the trunk. Okay. Here. Come here. Come here. We're going to take this stuff off. Got me? Yes. You're just being detained. All right. All right. I'll explain to you in just a second. Okay. All right. Any other guns uh in the trunk or just are you in the car? Just in the trunk? Yeah. I just left out the gun range. It's in a uh back. Hey, sir. Hey, sir. How you doing, sir? I'm officer Ranger Police Department. You want to step out of the car for me? We'll talk to you explain everything in a second. Switch arms out. Be detained. Okay. You got any weapons? Anything sharp, bro? All right. [Music] Yeah. Anything else in the vehicle I should know about? Just smoking a little bit of weed or something. I got picked up. What's up?

You got your ID on you? Nah, I just know it by heart. I'm going to pull your pants up a little bit here for you. What the hell happened? We see in a second. We have I'm trying to overdraft my car for some gas. Is that what it is? Yeah. You got a bunch of cash in your pocket right there though, bro. No, that's $300. Yeah, but why you going to overdraft your car for gas then? Cuz Navy Federal let you overdraft up to 225 and they don't charge you like a fee. No, the thing is your car going to go negative after 2 days. So, you're just like floating the money. Yeah, I'm doing Apple Pay. I got you. Hey, face my car real quick. I got Navy Federal. It's my personal bank. The crook lied to officers, claiming he was using his personal Navy Federal card. What he didn't know was that officers were already aware they had been draining victim's bank accounts. Figure all that out. So, right now, I'm going to have you see here real quick. You're not under arrest. You're being detained. Right. Everything out. I'll get you. Officers quickly located the suspect's vehicle and moved in. The teens were masked up and behaving suspiciously, repeatedly entering and exiting the car. Within minutes, all three were detained. The tension was high, but the response was fast. Police uncovered signs of a larger scheme. This was no petty theft. Had an interview today. Really? Okay. Where? Um, Health Foods Market. I was the in store shopper. Do you have a Florida driver's license ID? Uh, I never had ID. I left my my permit a long time ago. But you've been issued one before? Yeah. Yeah, I got one. I locked a long time ago. M. Uh uh. Uh they say 1012. Yep. Run that. They're using multiple cards. He's obviously not Kenyon. Give me the channel for one more minute. That car is yours, right? Yeah. All right. And the tag goes to that car. Yeah. If it is, I'm I'm on slap E right now. I got you. Is the car running or no? Yeah, it's still running. All right. Real quick. So, I'm gonna I want to talk to you more about everything, right? But since you are in handcuffs, I'm going to read you your rights. Doesn't mean you're under arrest. It just means since you're being detained, I'm asking questions. You're aware of your rights. Y'all want to check me, make sure I ain't got no other cards or none of that [ __ ] Well, I'm going to I'm going to read this to you first. That way, you're aware of your rights, right? So, you have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? Yes, sir. Uh, anything you say may be used against you in court. Do you understand? Okay. You have the right to talk to your lawyer before and during question. Do you understand? Yes, sir. If you cannot afford a lawyer and want one, one will be provided for you before questioning without charge. Do you understand? Yes, sir. Has anyone threatened you or promised you anything to get you to speak? No. All right. So, what what was going on with your whole card situation? All right. So, uh basically if you uh we trying to get fillups right now, right? Mhm. So, you know, you could overdraft up to 225 with Navy Federal. Yeah. Navy federal any bank account. Okay. Like say you got uh PNC anything. So, if you uh put the card in, say you got like $2 on your card, you could overdraft some some of it 100, some of it 200, 225. All right. Mine 225. So boom. Say we don't got no gas. We don't want to pay for gas. Damn cheap. If you put it in there, if you put the card in there, if you do it from the inside, it's not going to let you do it. The the pump is like credit. So if you put the card in and then you take it out, it's going to take the money that's on there, your $10, and it's going to keep going and it's going to stop at 100. So if he give me $20, I like overdraft my card and just pay it back later. I got Navy Federal though. Okay. Like my the card you're using was Navy Federal. No, it's his card. It's his card. Yeah, but Navy Federal do it and Fidil do it too. PNC do it. Chase everybody. I'm saying but the one today was Navy Federal. No, Fidili. His car. My Navy Federal. So I got Navy Federal. Which card were we using at the pumps today? Oh, I ain't using no I ain't using no card. He only the only one who used the car. A search of the car revealed key evidence. a Green Fidelity bank card that had seen $11,000 withdrawn that same day along with multiple other cards suspected to be stolen. Officers also noted strange behavior, including attempts to avoid surveillance and vague explanations that didn't line up. Uh, headquarters had another tag 75 Bravo Romeo Bravo Charlie. Okay.

One teen had been wearing a holster, raising immediate safety concerns. He claimed to be heading to a gun range, but the presence of skimmers, cash, and stolen cards told a different story.
