The three are charged with armed home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping, armed robbery, impersonating a law enforcement officer and a number of other related charges.

On the morning of February 5, an Amscot manager told Orange County deputies he was taken from his home, forced to drive to the business and open the safe for the suspects.

According to deputies, the three suspects pretended to be law enforcement officers in order to get into the manager's Osceola County home. Deputies say the suspects tied up family members and then force the manager to drive them to the Amscot on Hunters Oak Drive.

The Sheriff's Office said a Crimeline tip provided information that led to the suspects' arrests.
