Gun-toting good Samaritan foils Pompano Beach robbery

Police say Fabrizzo Sandovaz might want to work on his

planning and execution.

First, he forgot to put his Jeep in park when he allegedly

pulled behind Walid Hamad’s car and jumped out to rob the

48-year-old Palm Beach County man.

Second, the spot he chose for the armed robbery happened to

be in the driveway of a Pompano Beach surveillance and

securities retail store where employees are particularly

active in exercising their Second Amendment rights.

”Friday the 13th wasn’t a lucky day for this robber,” said

Mike Jachles, a spokesman with the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

As Sandovaz held a gun to Hamad and told him to hand over a

bag in his car, the gunman’s own vehicle slowly cruised into

two parked cars belonging to employees of IC Realtime

Security Solutions, 3050 N. Andrews Ave. extension

Hearing the crash, several employees ran outside, where they

saw the armed robbery taking place.

”We all ran outside and it so happened that one of our

customers had a license to carry and had a weapon on him,”

said Frank Fishman, a sales representative at the store.

Within seconds, Sandovaz, 21, found himself taking orders

with a gun to his head as Everol Moulton, a store customer

with a concealed weapons permit, told Sandovaz to drop the

gun and kick it toward him.

Sandovaz dropped the firearm and ran. Moulton fired one

shot and missed, and then he and several store employees

gave chase.

Fishman said they caught up to the suspect about 150 yards

down the road, tackled him and then held him down until the

Broward Sheriff’s Office arrived.

Adding insult to injury, the incident was recorded on the

store’s surveillance cameras.

”This guy picked the worst place in the world,” Fishman

said, “because most of us carry and we’re security guys.”

The Second Amendment IS Homeland Security !
