CLEARWATER, Fla — The Clearwater Police Department has arrested two suspects in an armed robbery at a local Publix store.
Police said around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 7, two male suspects who were on bicycles outside the store grabbed a gun from the holster of a security guard. The security guard fell to the ground and was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Police said both of the suspects got away on bicycles.
Police arrested a 16-year-old on Thursday, August 8 and a 14-year-old on Friday, August 9.
Both teens were charged with armed robbery and booked into the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
