Fox News • • business
Key Points:
- A missing delivery of 350 cinnamon rolls valued at $3,100 from Sunrise, Florida-based Roll & Dough was initially reported as theft by the delivery driver, an Uber courier hired by owner Julie Pierre.
- Police investigation revealed no theft occurred; the driver, Ivan Dario Rico Molano, a Colombian citizen, was detained by U.S. Border Patrol for being in the U.S. without legal authorization while en route to the delivery.
- Molano was arrested after a records check on his vehicle showed he had overstayed his legal entry from May 2021, but the cinnamon rolls remained in the vehicle and were later recovered by police.
- The recovered pastries were returned five days late but had to be discarded as they were no longer sellable, resulting in a $3,100 loss for the bakery despite no criminal theft.
- The bakery issued a public apology for initially accusing the driver of theft before the full facts were known, clarifying that their police report did not cause Molano’s arrest.
