MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — A man and a woman accused of taking part in a robbery and shooting appeared in a South Florida court on Wednesday.

The incident happened last month in Miami Gardens, and when police responded to the scene they said they discovered millions of dollars in drugs and cash.

The hearing was for Anthony Gordon and his girlfriend Danette Young, who have been in jail for more than a month after a reported home invasion robbery at their Miami Gardens home.

Gordon and Young claimed to be the victims on that day, but when police arrived they said they uncovered a record-setting seizure of $1.3 million in cash and illegal drugs with a street value of roughly $5 million.

Attorneys for both argued in court that just because there were drugs present in the home, it did not prove their clients were in possession of the drugs.

The couple is currently being held without bond on a long list of drug related felonies.

Their attorneys tried to convince the court to set a bond and allow for their release, but in the end, the evidence presented – photos of cash, multiple weapons and drugs – may have been overwhelming.

The judge ultimately ruled the couple would remain behind bars on no bond.
