At their first court appearances Thursday, Broward assistant state attorney Eric Linder indicated they worked together as a team.
“This was clearly a planned offense,” he said. “[The] individuals traveled from [Miami] Dade County to this particular business in Dania [Beach] to break into it in the middle of the night.”
Linder told the judge the value of the loss could rise.

“Considering that there was additional property stolen that hasn’t been accounted for, the total could reach over $50,000,” he said.
Solano-Montelier’s bond was set at $15,500 while Horta and Cervantes are being held without bond for immigration officials, records show.
