HOBE SOUND — Two Stuart men were arrested on felony theft charges for allegedly burglarizing a golf shop and making off with nearly $600.

Witnesses reported seeing the two men breaking into the Heritage Ridge Pro Shop in the Heritage Ridge Golf Club in Hobe Sound on Friday night.

Oscar F. Jimenez, 18, grabbed two bank bags from behind the counter, according to a Martin County Sheriff’s report.

Mario J. Andres, 24, told investigators he took clothes that he “really liked.”

Nearly two hours after the theft, Jimenez was spotted walking on U.S. 1. Sheriff’s deputies handcuffed him and found the cash inside his jean pockets and wallet, the report states. He was shocked twice with a Taser as deputies tried to restrain him, investigators said.

Andres, a former employee of the golf club, was stopped by two golfers as he ran from the shop.

Deputies said $595 was taken from the shop.

Both men face charges of burglary and grand theft.

    These are hardworking landscapers, they deserve to be given this stuff. Hey cops? Check their immigration status. Two less grasscutters.
