MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are searching for two men who were caught on camera taking off with a trailer worth $10,000 from a Miami Beach construction site.
Surveillance cameras next door to the site on the 3100 block of North Bay Road captured a white Ford work van backing into the property on July 7.
A man could be seen getting out of the van and opening a gate while the van continued to back into the site.
Minutes later, the white van could be seen leaving the property with a trailer attached to the back before another man closed the gate and made his way to the vehicle.
Authorities said the men took off with a black 2019 Big Tex Dump trailer.
Armando Pares, the owner of the trailer, said he left it inside of the construction site he was working on. He said the theft will cost him thousands of dollars and the integrity of his work site.
“All I want is to recover my trailer and have the safety of my job,” Pares said. “If [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] were to come over here and I have debris on the ground, I could get fined.”
The trailer has a Florida tag that reads HEHT82.
The first suspect police are looking to identify is described to be between 35 to 45 years old, standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall to 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 190 to 210 pounds.
The second man police are looking for is believed to be 25 to 35 years old, standing approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall to 6 feet tall and weighing around 185 to 195 pounds.
