BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA, FLORIDA – Cocoa Police detectives reported that 41-year-old Orlando Sanchez and 38-year-old Fatima Reyes-Gomez are being charged with counts of grand theft burglary after stealing from a Cocoa Jewelry store on Tuesday.

Sanchez and Reyes-Gomez were arrested in Volusia County approximately two hours after the Cocoa incident, as they attempted to steal from another jewelry store in that jurisdiction.

According to Cocoa Police officials, just after 11 a.m. the male and female entered the jewelry store on Brevard Avenue.

Sanchez distracted one of the employees and Reyes-Gomez reached over the counter, stole the ring, and left the store.

Reports suggest Cocoa Police Detectives immediately issued statewide bulletins with the information provided by the Jewelry store employees.

Cocoa Police were later contacted by detectives in Daytona who reported the same suspects were arrested for a similar crime in their jurisdiction.

The couple was identified by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and was found to be in possession of multiple fraudulent passports and identifications along with large amounts of cash.

Sanchez and Reyes-Gomez are currently being held in the Volusia County Detention Center without bail and have an immigration hold on any potential release.

The investigation remains active.
