Four alleged looters charged in Florida following Hurricane Ian

NYP: Four Floridians have been arrested and charged with looting in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian as hundreds of thousands of residents and business owners in the Sunshine State look to recover from the crippling storm.

Omar Mejia Ortiz, 33, Valerie Celeste Salcedo Mena, 26, Brandon Mauricio Araya, 20, and Steve Eduardo Sanchez Araya, also 20, were all arrested Thursday by Lee County sheriff’s deputies on charges of burglary of an unoccupied structure during a state of emergency, jails records indicate.

Brandon Araya and Steve Araya, as well as Mena, were also charged with grand larceny. Ortiz was hit with a petit larceny charge.

The four were arrested a day before a video emerged of five individuals sitting handcuffed for looting in a devastated section of Fort Myers, though it’s unclear if any of the four suspects charged with looting are in the video. more

  1. Wait, I just read this morning how Illegal Aliens were flocking to Florida, from New York, to “Help” with the clean up. Think it was on the Pundit. Are these people here legally? Inquiring minds and all that bull shit.

  2. Should have been shot on sight.

    Not that I advocate Police abusing their authority, of course.

    These maggots have double-fucked Florida – looting (which is bad enough), and now the Florida taxpayers will have to pay for the trials, greedy maggot lawyers, appeals, feeding, care, guarding, and comfort of these four rat-people for a long time to come.
