Cherries Waffles Tennis arrested for fraud at water sports stores

Three Miami, Florida, residents were arrested on Tuesday after they reportedly made fraudulent purchases at two Jupiter shops, police said. A Juno Beach surf shop also called police after three people tried to make a questionable purchase.



Cherries Waffles Tennis, 19, Vincent Mitchell, 19, and Paul Miller, 22, walked into Ground Swell Surf Shop trying to buy two Ray Ban sunglasses worth $500 and a $100 GoPro camera.

Tennis asked the clerk to punch in the credit-card number instead of swiping it. The clerk became suspicious and declined the sale, according to an arrest report. The suspects then entered Scuba Works in Jupiter and bought a $400 spear gun. They bought a GoPro camera from Kite Paddle Wake, the report said.



The Jupiter scuba shop later confirmed the credit card was declined. Police said they spotted the suspects as they were leaving a gas station. Cherries Waffles Tennis told police that her aunt gave her a credit card to use but did not know where it was when police asked. Tennis, Mitchell and Miller were booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of fraud.
