NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) - An armed robbery was caught on camera in North Miami showing the victim giving up the keys to his luxury car.
Surveillance video showed the robber following victim Nani Garcia for at least a couple of blocks before approaching him outside of a business near Northeast 149th Street and 18th Avenue, Sunday.
SuperGroup International’s surveillance cameras caught the armed robbery. The subject could be seen holding the victim at gunpoint.
“‘Give me your car key, give me your car key.’ I told him, ‘I have money,'” Garcia said. “He said, ‘No, give me car key.'”
The carjacking happened at around 4:40 p.m. when Garcia pulled up to the business in a 2018 BMW X1. As Garcia exited his car and waited to be let inside the store, the gunman walked up and demanded the keys to the BMW.
The subject then fled the scene with Garcia’s car, which had more than $20,000 worth of camera equipment inside. A gun was also inside the BMW.
“If you see the video, I have the key in my hand, and I come back,” Garcia said.
Police said they believe the robber may have arrived in a burgundy four-door, older-model Chevy Impala.
Albert Correa, who was doing business in the area, said he was shocked.
“Wow,” said Correa. “Yeah, that’s amazing. I’ve never been in this area, but I wouldn’t think that this would be such a dangerous area. That’s horrible. My God, people have nothing better to do.”
Police believe the subject at large is 18 to 25 years old, stands about 5 feet 7 inches and weighs about 150 pounds.
