Police Say Robber Threw Gasoline onto Employees, Who Are in Critical Condition
LAKE WALES | Two women were severely burned and a man who came to their aid was shot in the nose during a robbery at a Lake Wales insurance office Thursday afternoon.
Police said the robber threw gasoline on the women and set a fire inside the Nationwide Insurance office, injuring Juanita Luciano, 23, who was six months pregnant, and Yvonne Bustamante, 26.
They were flown to an Orlando hospital and were in critical condition Thursday night, Lake Wales Police Chief Herbert Gillis said.
Leonardo Suarez, a friend of Bustamante's husband, Mike, said an emergency Caesarean was done on Luciano to save the baby. Gillis confirmed that report.
The robbery was the most violent this southeast Polk County town has seen for years, Lake Wales police Capt. Troy Schulze said.
