Yet more bad behavior

Matt Gelb has an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer about an ugly incident:

Salahudin Shaheed made six surveillance trips to the National Watch & Diamond Exchange to observe the store's employees, and that was how, authorities said, he identified whom he thought was the owner to rob. But Shaheed had erred.
He, along with his cousin Basil Buie, appeared in Federal court as details of their arrests in the kidnap and torture of a Jewelers Row employee two months ago emerged.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officials said three confidential sources led them to Shaheed and Buie. Shaheed, 35, was arrested Thursday night in South Philadelphia, while Buie, 26, was arrested in Northeast Philadelphia.
A third man, Khayree Gay, 31, was arrested in South Carolina less than a week after the 4 April 2015 attempted robbery.
Shaheed and Buie have detention hearings scheduled for Monday. All three are accused of abducting a 53-year-old woman who had just gotten off work and was going to her car in a garage at 733 Chestnut Street. The men, police said, demanded codes to the jewelry store's safe.
The victim, an employee for more than fifteen years who routinely locked the store, was not the owner. The men tortured her and drove her around the city in a maroon van, using her debit card at ATMs at a Wawa store and a Chinese restaurant. They dumped her at a Darby Township cemetery.
Shaheed, authorities said, targeted National Watch because a friend of his had sold two Rolex watches to the store for twenty thousand dollars in cash, paid the same day.
One day after the robbery, according to court documents, Buie described the kidnapping to a friend, who relayed it to another friend. The second friend provided phone records to authorities that led to the suspects. Another confidential source placed the three men together on the day of the robbery. And a third confidential source, interviewed by BATFE officials, provided a detailed account of events that led to the robbery attempt and of the kidnapping itself. He said that, in November of 2014, he was recruited by Shaheed to participate in the robbery because he owed Shaheed money. That source said he accompanied Shaheed on the six surveillance missions.
On the day of the robbery, that source told authorities, Shaheed wore a suit to blend in on Jewelers Row. The three men waited in the van for National Watch to close.
The confidential source said he drove the van as Shaheed and Buie beat and used a Taser on the woman because she could not provide the store's codes.
This week, the confidential source identified photographs of Shaheed and Buie, according to court documents.
Buie, during his initial appearance in Federal court, glanced at his mother in the corner of the courtroom. The door opened while Buie was handcuffed, and he saw other relatives.
"I love y'all," he said.
Shaheed told Judge David R. Strawbridge that he was a sidewalk vendor until December of 2012. "Quite a respectable income," Strawbridge said, while examining an affidavit.
"I no longer have the business," Shaheed said. He estimated he had a few hundred dollars to his name, if that, and a public defender was assigned to represent him.
