Two individuals, Orlando Valdes-Hernandez, 34, and Milleni Garcia, 38, have been apprehended in Miami in connection with a recent million-dollar robbery at a jewelry store in Nashville. The duo was identified as suspects in the robbery of Dubai Jewelers, located on Nolensville Pike, which occurred last Wednesday. They were found enjoying their time at a luxury hotel in Florida when Miami Beach Police, acting on a request from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD), made the arrest.
The suspects were identified through comprehensive social media research conducted by MNPD Detective Kevin Keating and his team. During the incident, Valdes-Hernandez reportedly jumped over the store counter, pepper-sprayed an employee, and forced them into a back room where another employee was present. He allegedly brandished a pistol, instructing both employees to lie on the floor while Garcia and an unidentified accomplice took jewelry and gold from the display cases. Valdes-Hernandez is also accused of taking additional jewelry before fleeing the scene.
