A Florida burglar who posted a Facebook video bragging about a $500,000 jewelry haul has landed himself and one of his accomplices in jail, police said on Thursday.
Officers from Pinecrest, Florida said they arrested Raderius Glenn Collins, 18, after he uploaded the video to Facebook on May 27. His friend, Marcus Terrell Parker, 27, was arrested after another burglary on June 9, police said.
They are still searching for a third suspect, who is seen in the video in the passenger seat of the car flashing $100 bills to the camera.
The man in the driver's seat proudly reveals his bag of cash to the camera while the other two men cheer.
The burglars stole a safe from a home with jewelry valued at more than $500,000.
Police say Collins and Parker later burglarized a second home and stole jewelry valued at more than $10,000 and a screwdriver that would later tie one of the arrested men to the burglary.
One of the arrested subjects told police that he and the other two subjects sold the stolen jewelry to a jewelry shop.
"It was just one dumb decision after another," said Michelle Hammontree, communications director for Pinecrest.
