A Luxury Cruise Conceals A Crime (& 9 Dumbest Criminals Caught)

The unbelievable moment two influencers conceal a massive crime during a luxury cruise is fully documented in this video. In March 2012, 20-year-old Michael Baker and his girlfriend Joann Sendelin siphoned fuel from an unattended police cruiser in Jenkins, Kentucky. Baker proudly uploaded a photograph of the stunt to his personal Facebook account, drawing the immediate attention of Police Chief Allen Bormes. Broadcasting your location is a terrible idea when authorities are actively searching for you. On December 26, 2019, wanted 20-year-old Kevin Gaines Jr. decided to stream on Instagram Live from a house in Deland, Florida, until Deputy Billy Leven shined a police spotlight directly into the window visible on the feed. Across the globe in the United Kingdom, 21-year-old Michael Ruse was standing trial for assault in June 2012 when he foolishly bragged on Facebook that he got away with the crime, leading prosecutors straight to a digital confession. Live streaming illegal activities guarantees an audience of law enforcement. In October 2015, Whitney Beall utilized the Periscope app to broadcast herself driving recklessly through Lakeland, Florida, prompting concerned viewers to call authorities who quickly tracked her vehicle. Financial ambition also leads to digital exposure, as seen when Arlando Henderson repeatedly stole money from a Wells Fargo vault in Charlotte, North Carolina, throughout 2019 before posting photos of himself holding massive stacks of cash online. In March 2015, the Butler County Sheriff's Office in Ohio posted a wanted photo of 21-year-old Andrew Dale Marcum, prompting the suspect to casually comment on his own warrant and sparking a viral exchange with Sheriff Richard K. Jones. Meanwhile, in August 2016, Canadian citizens Melina Roberge and Isabelle Lagace boarded the MS Sea Princess for a lavish luxury cruise. The pair constantly uploaded glamorous vacation photos to Instagram as they travelled toward Sydney, Australia, completely unaware that their heavily documented journey was hiding a staggering 16 million dollar secret in their suitcases. Organized syndicates are equally susceptible to internet fame, as seen when a group of young car thieves in Leeds, England, created an Instagram account in November 2019 to flaunt stolen vehicles, exposing Frankie Allwork alongside his accomplices. In May 2015, 23-year-old Dominyk Antonio Alfonseca robbed a bank in Virginia Beach and inexplicably uploaded a video of the crime alongside his demand note to Instagram just twenty minutes later. The urge to boast also took down Rashia Wilson in Tampa, Florida, who explicitly declared herself a millionaire tax fraud queen on Facebook while flaunting her illegally obtained wealth for the world to see.
