FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Airport District detectives say they have arrested a man suspected of stealing dozens of key fobs from rental car companies at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
According to detectives, the investigation began in late 2021 when an unidentified individual stole more than 100 keys from rental car companies at the airport. In 2022, on several occasions, unknown thieves carried out similar incidents. Finally, in December 2022, Broward Sheriff’s Airport District detectives, using investigative methods, identified 31-year-old Armando Martinez as the suspect in the burglary.
On January 31, detectives arrested Martinez on 143 counts of theft of a vehicle and six counts of grand theft. The estimated total damages in the grand theft cases exceed $77 thousand dollars.
According to detectives, each key fob cost several hundred dollars, and Martinez is believed to have sold the key fobs to other individuals. Detectives say Martinez has confessed to the crime.
