MIAMI (WSVN) - Newly released surveillance video shows two men ambushing a man in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood before stealing belongings the victim had loaded into his car.
According to City of Miami Police, the man, who works at the Morplay Studios recording facility, was robbed at gunpoint as he was loading his belongings into the trunk on his car, at around 1 a.m., Thursday.
The footage shows the victim putting away his things when, Miami Police said, a black Cadillac sedan pulled up next to his car, near Northwest Miami Court and 21st Street.
That’s when two men exited the vehicle, pointing guns at him.
The victim was instructed to lie down on the ground while one of the subjects ransacked his trunk.
“They take all his belongings: his book bag, his jewelry, electronics,” said Miami Police Cmdr. Freddie Cruz.
Officials said the duo also made off with shoes.
Officials said they are alarmed by the weapon one of the subjects is seen wielding.
“This isn’t just an armed robbery, but it’s the type of firearm that they used,” said Cruz. “This individual, if you look closely, is using a pistol that has a specific magazine that can hold possibly 30 to 50 rounds.
Thankfully, police said, no shots were fired after the victim complied with the robbers.
Police are now searching for the two men seen on camera, along with the driver of that Cadillac.
Cruz said this duo have done this before.
“These individuals are involved in other robberies in the area, and they could have easily taken the victim’s life at any given moment,” he said.
If you recognize the robbers, or have any information on their vehicle or current whereabouts, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
