Ex-Royal Caribbean employee accused of robberies

A former Royal Caribbean employee has been charged with burglarizing the homes of nearly two dozen South Florida customers while they were away on cruises.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies arrested 38-year-old Bethsaida Sandoval Thursday. She is being held on $70,000 bond.

Detectives say she got customers' information at the company's Miramar offices, where she was a vacation planner.

Authorities say she and her husband, John Lopez, began the robberies in 2009. Lopez is being held at a Broward County jail on unrelated charges. He has also been charged in the case.

Royal Caribbean said that Sandoval was fired. The company said it doesn't tolerate any form of criminal activity in its work force or operations.

It wasn't immediately known if Sandoval or Lopez had attorneys.
