FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Two Fort Lauderdale men have been arrested in connection with a distraction theft at a Dunkin' Donuts in Oakland Park.
Broward Sheriff's Office deputies said the Fort Lauderdale Police Department identified the men as Joshua Brouckaert, 28, and Nicholas Wolf, 18.
Surveillance video shows how the November theft occurred.
BSO spokeswoman Gina Carter said one of the thieves knocked on the front door and got the attention of the only employee in the restaurant while the other thief entered through the back door. That thief took the cash drawer, which was placed on a baker's rack, and ran out.
The video shows one of the men as he wipes off the fingerprints from the back door with his shirt sleeves.
Less than 24 hours after the video was released, deputies spoke with Wolf by telephone Wednesday afternoon. Deputies said Wolf admitted to taking part in the crime and agreed to turn himself in.
An anonymous caller told deputies Brouckaert booked a flight to Las Vegas. He was taken into custody by Las Vegas police once the plane landed.
Deputies said Brouckaert had an outstanding warrant in Nevada for carrying a concealed weapon. He was released from prison in April after serving a sentence for burglary.
