Twenty-seven people were taken into custody last week and charged with marriage fraud. The scam involved brin- ing immigrants into the coun- try illegally.

Three of the individuals taken into custody are Inaldo Chavez, 57, and Caridad Baez, 50, both of Hialeah, and Masiel Puron, 33, of Marathon. They were all ac- cused of charging a fee to arrange fraudulent marriages between undocumented aliens and U. S. citizens. They are also accused of notarizing false mar- riage licenses, completing nec- essary immigration paperwork and preparing the participants for their U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services inter- views.
The arranged marriages took place between 2011 and 2014. The investigation was con- ducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Last Thursday, Tampa Po- lice officers reported they ar- rested a robbery suspect as he was counting the money he stole.
Police said Noble Rogers, 51, entered the Family Dollar Store at 4002 50th Street at 3:15 p. m., went behind the counter and confronted store employees.
Rogers allegedly threat- ened to shoot the employees and demanded money. He im- plied he had a weapon, but no one in the store saw it. The employees did as Rogers commanded and he fled in a green GMC truck.
Officers, who had been given a detailed description of the suspect and his vehicle, spot- ted it in the 3100 block of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boule- vard pulled over to the side of
