Jail records show the incident happened at Wheaton’s Service Center & Towing at 101500 Overseas Highway.
According to MCSO, deputies responded to the repair shop at around 7:45 a.m. after an employee saw the two burglarizing a Mercedes-Benz sedan.
“Security video showed Duangsay removing items from the car and Aubrey directing her,” MCSO spokesperson Adam Linhardt said in a news release. “Duangsay was wearing black latex gloves.”

Linhardt said that Aubrey told the employee that the two were burglarizing the sedan “because it was unlocked.”
Authorities said Aubrey additionally threw a lit cigar into a dumpster at the business, causing a fire.

Records show both were being held in the agency’s Key West jail facility with no listed bond. They’re set to be arraigned on June 16.
