According to the owner, the crook broke in through the back door around 2 a.m. on Monday.

“We never have a problem here,” said Holy Smokes owner Rey Rodriguez. “Until the other night.”

Surveillance video shows the motorcyclist scoping out the back parking lot before getting off the bike.

“Somebody went to the back door and broke the door,” said Rodriguez.

Video from inside the store shows the helmet-wearing bandit with the white jacket ransacking the back room, ultimately finding a safe with about $400 inside.

“This guy knows what he’s doing,” said Rodriguez. “He came with a motorcycle, the helmet; you cannot see the face or nothing.”

On Friday, Local 10 News reported on similar robberies pulled off by a suspect in a white helmet, jacket and riding a blue motorcycle.

“Be careful of the business, secure the door in the back,” said Rodriguez. “People are working hard to make money for their family, then people come and steal.”

Anyone with information on the crook or who thinks they recognize him is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
