The Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida arrested three Cubans on Monday who were robbing an empty house in the Lehigh Acres community.
In the residence located on the 600 block of Columbus Boulevard, the three individuals were found after they broke into the home and triggered the alarm, NBC2 reported.
Yanet Valdes, Osmel Ortiz, and Alberto Quiñones-Pérez were arrested in the back of the property with a box of pillows, a shower curtain, rugs, and bottles of water.

The homeowners were on the east coast of Florida when they received notification of a possible break-in, and they returned to Lehigh Acres the next day to file a report, NBC2 reported.
