It looked to be a case of attempted shoplifting. But it came with a twist. Two Florida men are in custody after exiting Best Buy at Fayette Pavilion Tuesday and being stopped by sheriff’s deputies on Ga. Highway 314 in a mini-van loaded with stolen merchandise.

Charged with shoplifting and theft by receiving stolen property were Hollywood, Fla. residents Julio Real, 26, and Steven Dacurro, 46, according to Fayetteville Police spokesperson Steve Crawshaw. Dacurro was also charged with giving a false name, Crawshaw said.

Crawshaw said a Best Buy employee flagged down a passing Fayetteville officer Tuesday afternoon, explaining that two men had been concealing merchandise while in the store. The men left the store without the merchandise, followed by the employee who got their tag number, Crawshaw said.

Deputies located the vehicle traveling on Hwy. 314. A check of the vehicle revealed numerous items such as video games, monitors, software, tennis shoes and other items, Crawshaw said.

Crawshaw confirmed that the van appeared to have been rented in Hollywood, Fla. at approximately 9 a.m. on Jan. 5.

The investigation is ongoing, said Crawshaw. Detectives are currently determining the origin and value of the stolen merchandise and why Real and Dacurro were in Fayetteville.
