MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – A police chase across Miami-Dade and Broward counties on Monday ended in an arrest after a series of attempted car burglaries, with newly obtained surveillance video shedding light on the suspects’ actions.
Local 10′s Rosh Lowe obtained video from the Miami Shores Police Department showing a gray Dodge Durango pulling into the parking lot behind the Miami Shores Country Club.
The footage captures two individuals exiting the front and rear passenger seats, attempting to open the door of a parked SUV but failing.
They then move to another vehicle, using the Durango to block the view, but are again unsuccessful.
A man nearby, possibly a tennis player, notices the activity and runs toward the Durango before it speeds off.
At 1:44 p.m., Miami Shores police received a report of a masked male suspect checking car doors at the country club.
Authorities said the suspect fled in the gray Dodge Durango, driven by a female.
Miami Shores Police detectives, with assistance from Miami-Dade police aviation, confirmed that they tracked the vehicle into Broward County.
Miami Shores police said a chase ensued, and the male suspect bailed out on foot. They said the female driver, who has not been identified as of Monday night, was seen removing the license plate before fleeing.
The plate was later recovered by police and the female driver was arrested near Davie Boulevard and Southwest 30th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, according to investigators.
Police also confirmed that she has multiple outstanding warrants.
They said the vehicle was recovered by Fort Lauderdale police and will be processed by Miami Shores investigators.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
