Two Arrested In $250,000 Raid at Flatbush Home
Two goons have been arrested for terrorizing the children of the owner of Willoughby's Camera during a home invasion and stealing the family's Ferrari.
Derrick Diaz and and Jason Cuebas allegedly made off with $5,000 in cash and $250,000 worth of jewelry, electronics and sports memorabilia from the Midwood, Brooklyn, home of Joseph Douek before making their getaway in the sports car.
Cops chased the duo, who abandoned the black Ferrari on McDonald Ave.
Cuebas cut himself during the heist and investigators used the blood to make a match with his DNA, which had been collected during previous arrests, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Federal agents nabbed Cuebas on Tuesday night and he agreed to let them listen in when he called Diaz.
"Diaz laughed at how Cuebas had become nauseated when Diaz drove the [Ferrari] at a high rate of speed," Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Mark Manko said in the complaint.
Diaz was busted early yesterday at his home in New Jersey. Both defendants were held without bail. A third member of robbery crew is still being sought.
Douek's children, ages 12 and 17, were locked in the bathroom by the thugs, who were armed with screwdrivers.
Douek, who owns the legendary camera store on Fifth Ave, was not home.
