Jorge Uscamayta, Skycap Arrested In Luggage Scam, Is Dad Of Bomb-Strapped Bank Robbery Victim
By Tim Elfrink, Thu., Nov. 18 2010 @ 1:17PM

How's this for a truly bizarre crime connection? Last night, Miami-Dade police announced the arrests of more than 20 curbside baggage handlers at MIA on charges that they'd taken cash bribes. One of those "skycaps" is 62-year-old Jorge Uscamayta.

If that name sounds familiar, it's because he's evidently the same Jorge Uscamayta who was held hostage at gunpoint two months ago while his son -- a teller at the Coral Gables Bank of America -- was forced to strap a bomb on his chest and extract $100,000 for a gang of bank robbers. Whaaa?

1. I think I would have a few more questions about the bank robbery
if I were a law enforcement officer involved in this case.
