Caught on camera: Police seek suspect that stole laptop from medical student at Barry University

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Miami Shores police are investigating a robbery after a medical student at a university in Miami-Dade County said his laptop was stolen inside the school’s library.

The student told Local 10 News that he was in the library at Barry University in Miami Shores when his laptop computer was taken on Friday.
