The officer tailed the suspects until they reached the 7-Eleven at the corner of Southwest 200th Street and 127th Avenue in the South Miami Heights area.

“Before (one of the suspects) got in the car, the cop went and stopped in front of him,” a witness said. “He was on the floor at gunpoint here in front of the pump.”

The officer called Miami-Dade police for backup. The county officers took the suspects into custody.

Police haven’t yet identified the men they detained.
