MIAMI (AP) — Authorities have arrested a homeless man they say stole two assault rifles and a handgun from a car in Miami.
Miami police said Tuesday that they’ve arrested 30-year-old Robert Patterson on counts of grand theft, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and armed burglary.

Officials say Patterson broke into a condominium on June 12 and stole two AR-15 rifles and a handgun from a car parked inside a garage. Police later released surveillance video showing a man getting into a black Mercedes-Benz and removing something from the trunk.
Authorities received a tip that led them to Patterson Tuesday.
Patterson remains behind bars without bond. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
