HILLSBOROUGH, Fla. (WWSB) – Hillsborough County deputies have arrested two more men in connection with an armed robbery that began as a Facebook Marketplace sale outside a Riverview office park in 2025.<\/p>\n
Deputies said a man met with two buyers in November 2025 at the Bell Creek Professional Park complex in Riverview.<\/p>\n
Once there, investigators believe the suspected buyers pulled out a pistol and a rifle, robbed the man at gunpoint and fired shots as he ran away.<\/p>\n
The victim was not injured.<\/p>\n
Syrus Pentecost was previously arrested and is now in Florida State Prison for his role in setting up the robbery, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
After months of investigation, detectives last week obtained arrest warrants for Michael Moore and Daniel Yanacheck.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office said Yanacheck was later found by Manatee County deputies hiding in an attic at a home in Bradenton, where investigators also allegedly recovered one of the guns believed to have been used in the robbery.<\/p>\n
Sheriff Chad Chronister discussed the case and the arrests in a video posted on the agency\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, deputies are urging anyone who buys or sells items online to make the exchange at a designated Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office Safe Space, during daylight hours and never alone.<\/p>\n
