Three men are locked up, accused in at least seven different robberies in the past two weeks.

Volusia County deputies said 19-year-old Stanley Valentin and 22-year-old Malcolm Ward confessed to robbing a CVS store, 2400 Enterprise Road, just before 3 a.m. Monday.

The suspects, wearing all black and clothing covering their faces, were spotted running through the shopping center's parking lot and then captured. Deputies were also able to recover a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and a pair of gloves nearby. A white CVS money bag was located on the ground in the pharmacy's drive-thru lanes.

"Armed robbery is a serious crime," Orange County Sheriff's Office Detective Greg McQuitter said. "Robbery with a firearm is commercial armed robbery, so these are very serious crimes."

During the investigation, Valentin and Ward also confessed to six other robberies in Orange, Osceola and Polk counties, including four CVS stores, a Walgreens pharmacy and a Red Lobster restaurant on Golden Sky Lane on Monday, Oct. 20.

Twenty-year-old Javier Farrar II, the alleged getaway driver from Monday's CVS robbery, was arrested at his Orlando home. Deputies said he confessed to six of the seven robberies.

"These guys had no feat about nothing that was going on," McQuitter said. "They just acted on an instinct and decided to follow their instinct. (And) their instinct is what got them caught."

Valentin and Ward were both charged with carrying a concealed firearm, kidnapping, resisting an officer without violence and robbery with a firearm. They remain locked up in the Volusia County Jail on $60,500 bond.

Farrar was charged with robbery with a firearm and remains in the Orange County Jail without bond.
