Miami Beach police are stepping up patrol following a violent wave of crime recently, including when a young father, Dustin Wakefield, was murdered on Ocean Drive last week.

MIAMI – Streets were swarmed in downtown Miami on Saturday and reckless wheelies were being popped on I-95 Sunday. The event happens every year on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is on Monday. Despite a stern warning from law enforcement, more than 100 riders sped down the streets of Miami, weaving in and out of traffic dangerously as passing drivers did their best to avoid them. “I don’t think they should be doing that because especially there is a lot of traffic down here,” Hernandez said. Law enforcement officials said they will hold accountable anybody making the streets unsafe and are discouraging riders from taking to roadways this weekend, or else they could be arrested and their vehicles impounded.
