The group of about 8-9 people broke through the front window and were seen walking in and then walking out with stolen items.

The group then began looting a Footlocker and CashAmerica Pawn Store in the same area.

Hours later, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department tweeted that they had caught the criminals.

The police have enough to do now without having to deal with thieves. I hope they get a good long sentence at trial.

and they could see the 10 News people filming them so they had to know they were going to get popped for it.

It looked like a bunch of teenagers, with typical shit-for-brains impulse control.

This group was caught by the News Crew, I hope there aren't any more running around not being caught.

The police have enough to do.
