Two people in Florida have been arrested after one of them made a 911 call for help moving belongings from a home that was being burglarized, authorities said.
Deputies responded to a home Saturday after a 911 call was placed, but no one spoke, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. At the home, officers concluded that no one lived there, but found a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering through an unlocked door.
Deputies had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him on security video as a shoplifter at a Dollar General store in Poinciana, Florida, where several items were stolen earlier that day, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Poinciana is about 35 miles south of Orlando.

While speaking with the officers, the suspect told them that she had called 911 in order for the police to help them remove their belongings from the house that was being burglarized. They also wanted a ride to the airport so they could spend the weekend in New York, the sheriff’s office said.

“Deputies DID help them with their belongings and DID give them a ride, but it didn’t go to the airport…it went to the Polk Pokey,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. “And you’re welcome to stay there all weekend. The Polk Pokey is way better than New York anyway.”
