STUART, Fla., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said four burglary suspects were found sleeping in a car near an abandoned van alleged to be their getaway vehicle.

Martin County sheriff's deputies said security cameras at Stuart Lawn & Garden caught images of two men removing items from the store in the early hours Tuesday and placing them in a white van with one wheel that did not match the others, WPBF-TV, West Palm Beach, Fla., reported Wednesday.

"It was mainly items that they knew they were after because they didn't spend any time looking around," Justin Suggs, vice president of the Stuart business, said.

He said the men took nearly $10,000 worth of merchandise, including 22 chainsaws.

Deputies said they received a call about the burglary about 3:30 a.m. and later discovered the empty van in a parking lot at Harbor Bay Plaza in Sewalls Point. The deputies arrested four men found sleeping in a nearby Jaguar.

Armando Garcia, Abel Lahera, Emilio Moreira and Jorge Amador were charged with burglary and grand theft.

Stuart Lawn & Garden posted a sign outside of the business Tuesday reading: "The Last 4 Idiots Who Broke In Here And Stole From Us Are At The Martin County Correctional Facility Getting Acquainted With BUBBA."
