Your trusted locksmith - not!

A South Florida locksmith is accused of pilfering from some of the same safes he was supposed to protect from thieves.

Eric Welch, 50, of Coconut Creek, was arrested Thursday in the back of a Home Depot in Margate after he allegedly cracked opened a safe full of cash that was bolted to a van's floorboard.

Welch knew about the safe because he was hired to work on it himself months earlier, according to investigators with the Broward Sheriff's Office and the Margate Police Department.
