Their plan, however, broke down after a Staten Island teen caught some of the cash while fishing. [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]The two guards were busted after ninth-grader Princston Ramos went fishing at a Staten Island pond and accidentally hooked some of the stolen money. Ramos turned the money into law enforcement officials and the remaining money was later recovered after the pair cracked under questioning. [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]"I looked down and I saw it on the ground, large stacks of money," Ramos says. "All I could see was money laying around." [/size][/#000000][/font]
