Geybert Alexander Garcia and Melany Perdomo are accused of breaking into the Coral Gables home of Henry Parra, 55, and Adam Hlavaty, 42 \u2014 who were two of the seven people who died in the mountainside crash while on safari last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police said the burglary happened sometime between Thursday and Saturday, after the crash, WPLG reported.<\/p>\n

Garcia, 40, and Perdomo, 24, \u201cransacked the residence and removed numerous items belonging to the decedent such as personal and business documents, jewelry, electronics, and artwork,\u201d according to an arrest report.<\/p>\n

They also stole the couple\u2019s 2023 Land Rover and 2020 Porsche Taycan.<\/p>\n

Pings from the stolen MacBook and Land Rover led police to the couple\u2019s home in a nearby community where they lived together. Both stolen vehicles were parked outside of the residence, police said.<\/p>\n

Inside the home, they recovered \u201cseveral valuable pieces of artwork \u2026 including an art sculpture belonging to the victims and valued in excess of approximately $500,000,\u201d it states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also found instruments used to produce or alter fraudulent documents and a Ford F-150 truck reported stolen out of Indian County, cops said.<\/p>\n

The report mentions the helicopter crash, but doesn\u2019t state whether or how investigators believe that the burglars became aware of the couple\u2019s deaths before the break-in.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Garcia and Perdomo were each arrested on multiple felony charges, including burglary and grand theft auto.<\/p>\n

In court on Wednesday, Garcia\u2019s attorney, Paul Basile, presented a document purporting to be from one of the crash victims, granting Garcia permission to use the vehicle and be on the property.<\/p>\n

Lauren Bailey, a family friend of the victims who attended the hearing, said that\u2019s impossible because they had been out of the country when the document was allegedly signed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would have never done so. They had other people. They have a live-in maid that comes to the house every day. There would be no need to do such a thing,\u201d she told WPLG.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe house was damaged; it was broken into. The door was destroyed. They ripped off the camera, which we\u2019ve given the prosecutor the photos of that,\u201d she continued. <\/p>\n

\u201cHis family came from Indiana and came home to a house that had been broken into and their things stolen, and they don\u2019t feel comfortable if you let this person go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coral Gables Police Department Detective Wilfredo Diaz confirmed to the court that he believed the document was a fake.<\/p>\n

The judge, who was also skeptical, ordered the couple be held without bond.<\/p>\n

Parra and Hlavaty died in the tourist chopper alongside Telemundo executive Jos\u00e9 Su\u00e1rez; the director general of Ecuador\u2019s intelligence agency, Michele Sensi-Contugi, and his wife,\u00a0Stephany Maria Hollihan Vasconez, a US dual citizen; millionaire food entrepreneur Roger Edward Duarte; and the pilot, Josh Outram.<\/p>\n
