NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Gas station surveillance cameras were rolling as someone drove up to a woman’s car and stole her purse all while she was pumping fuel.
The 28-year-old single mother was at a Shell gas station near Miami Gardens Drive and Northeast Second Avenue in Northeast Miami-Dade when the theft occurred on April 12.
“I don’t feel secure. I don’t feel safe,” the victim said. “Someone’s driving around with my driver’s license and I just don’t feel safe anymore.”
The victim said she thought she had locked her doors.
“I’m a single woman. I’m a single mom. I always ride around with my son, so I locked the door, but I had so many things going on in my head and I obviously — I guess I didn’t lock it.”
The victim said the subject has already tried to access her accounts.
“They keep trying to take money. I honestly don’t know if they’ve done anything under my name,” she said. “They have my license, they’re pretending to be me. I don’t know what else is going to pop up.”
The thief also got a picture of the victim’s 8-year-old son, and the money she intended to spend on rent.
“I’m heartbroken. I feel robbed, I don’t feel safe. I feel insecure, I question myself every time I jump in my car,” the victim said.
