Video shows violent armed robbery at Florida nail salon, police say suspect's 55-year-old mother was the getaway driver

Florida police say a violent robbery caught on video in front of a nail salon had been plotted by the mother of the suspect for over a month.

Yunet Sanchez is the owner of Champagne Nails in Hialeah, but she also sells jewelry at the store. On Sept. 16, she was leaving the business with a suitcase full of gold jewelry when she was violently robbed.

The robbery was caught on surveillance video.

The video shows a man wearing all black clothing and a facemask run up to Sanchez and grab the handle of the suitcase. When Sanchez refused to let go, he pistol whipped her several times and reportedly shot at least once in the air.

The man was able to get away with the woman's suitcase after climbing back into a white SUV before he and the driver sped off.

Police said the suitcase had about 1,300 pieces of jewelry that were worth about $800,000.

In October, police arrested 24-year-old Julian Flores and his mother 55-year-old Lourdes Diaz. The arrest report said that Sanchez identified Diaz as a frequent customer who would inquire about the jewelry but never buy anything.

Detectives said that Flores had posted an image to his Instagram account showing himself holding a gun and wearing a distinctive ring that had been stolen during the robbery.

The report also said that when Diaz was pulled over by police, she had gold necklaces consistent with those stolen at the robbery.

Mom and Sonny sound like a couple of criminal masterminds. That said, the owner of the somewhat atypical nail salon/jewelry store combo needs to have her head examined for carrying around nearly a million bucks in jewelry with no security

The irony of the son being molested in jail by guys who look like his mom.

Well, not much of a ‘mastermind’ if he “posted an image to his Instagram account showing himself holding a gun and wearing a distinctive ring that had been stolen during the robbery”.

Point taken, but I doubt they're Mexicans.
