FORT MYERS, Fla. (WFLA) — A mother and her son were arrested after the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said they took “game night way too seriously.”

Jose Baez Suarez, 22, is accused of robbing a Fort Myers arcade at gunpoint while his mother, Yideyla Suarez Cedeno, 43, waited nearby and acted as his getaway driver.

Deputies said witnesses reported seeing a man, later identified as Suarez, entering Kings World Arcade on Friday, July 18 and holding a cashier at gunpoint.

Surveillance footage showed him running out of the arcade with an undisclosed amount of cash and jumping into a RAV4, according to authorities.

Investigators said they found the vehicle on Tuesday, July 22 using additional DOT footage and license plate reader data. Cedeno was behind the wheel when authorities pulled the car over. Deputies said her son was also in the vehicle.

In addition to other evidence pointing to them as suspects, detectives said the mother and son duo had a black BB gun with them that resembled the weapon used in the robbery.

Both Suarez and Cedeno were arrested and charged in relation to the incident, according to the sheriff’s office.
