Dumb Criminals: Florida Man fakes heart attack so buddy can steal toys

In (duh) Florida;

Two men in Florida may have earned themselves a spot on Santa's naughty list after one of them allegedly faked a heart attack so the other one could steal a Barbie car and other toys.

Tarus Scott, 30, and Genard Dupree, 27, were arrested Tuesday after a surveillance camera in a Walmart in Lake Wales, Florida, captured the whole stunt on tape, WESH-TV reports.

The video shows the suspects walking through the store together. Suddenly, Dupree lays down on the ground near the entrance as he clutches his chest and pretends to have a heart attack.

When other shoppers saw Dupree on the ground, they tried to help him while Scott allegedly helped himself to $369 worth of toys, including a motorized power wheel Barbie car, a Leap Frog tablet, and a Barbie Glam vacation house, WFLA reports.
