Osceola County sheriff’s deputies arrested two burglary suspects after they ordered a rideshare home from the crime scene, deputies said. The burglaries happened early Tuesday morning, deputies said. Deputies were surveilling the neighborhood because they claim it was the site of a “recent series of burglaries” when they saw the two suspects get into a car with duffle bags and backpacks, according to an arrest affidavit. Deputies pulled the car over. The unsuspecting “getaway” driver was hired by the suspects as a rideshare, deputies said. An arrest affidavit said the driver told deputies the items in the trunk belonged to the suspects and he did not know them. The targeted neighborhood is gated, every gate has a camera, many homes have surveillance cameras, hired security patrols in marked vehicles and deputies conducted surveillance. Deputies said that wasn’t enough to stop Ronie Joseph, 18, and Justice Lewis, 19, from burglarizing homes.
