TAMPA, Fla. — A Lakeland couple pleaded guilty to multiple armed robberies in Tampa and Seffner, as both face potential life sentences in federal prison.
Federal prosecutors said 39-year-old Andres Correa admitted to four Hobbs Act robberies, four counts of brandishing a firearm during a violent crime, possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, and conspiracy to commit robberies. Forty-six-year-old Cassandra Kerr pleaded guilty to two Hobbs Act robberies, three counts of brandishing a firearm during a violent crime, and conspiracy.
Court records show Correa and Kerr carried out robberies between late July and mid-August 2025, targeting a food truck, gas station, food mart, and smoke shop. Correa brandished a firearm and threatened victims during the incidents, while Kerr acted as a lookout.
Investigators later recovered clothing, a firearm, a stomach holster, and a ledger listing potential targets.
