At least three people were arrested in Florida after allegedly exploiting the chaos left behind by Hurricane Isaias to steal a car, and loot a store.
Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said in a video posted to Facebook that Dustin Kelley, 30, and Amanda Carr, 29, allegedly came up to a woman and claimed the two were in the area doing work in the hurricane’s aftermath.
Kelley and Carr told the woman their phone had died and asked for help charging it, prompting her to let them inside her car to plug it in. Simmons said Carr was “crying” because she didn’t have a charger.

After the woman got out of the car, Kelley and Carr allegedly drove off and stole the vehicle.
A deputy who was nearby spotted the car and gave chase before it crashed, leaving no one seriously injured.
“So these two angels pretended like they needed a phone charged and ended up stealing a car. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t realize that the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has been out in full force looking for people just like them, and they’re going to jail now,” Simmons said.
