One of the burglars used what appeared to be a drill and a screwdriver to break in through the door. The victim wasn’t home at the time.
“It looks like they definitely knew what they were doing,” said Miami Police Officer Christopher Bess.
The victim told police the subjects got away with $5,000 in cash and $10,000 in personal property.
The duo targeted the apartment in the middle of the day, causing concern for police.
