About $600 worth of gift cards were taken from a South Florida supermarket as part of a scam.
Police a man tried to buy hundreds of dollars worth of gift cards Wednesday, at a Publix Supermarket on Taft Street, near North 69th Avenue in Hollywood.
Authorities say the credit card he attempted to purchase the gift cards with was fake.
As the clerk tried to process the transaction, the subject grabbed the cards and ran out of the store.
He and an accomplice were captured a short time later in Miami-Dade County, in the area of Northeast 195th Street and 10th Avenue.
Authorities also recovered the gift cards.
