SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A man is behind bars after police said he stole a car from a gas station in Southwest Miami-Dade, a case that was tied to a false claim that a child was inside the vehicle.
Antonio Monzon has been charged with grand theft auto after he allegedly took a woman’s car at the Sunoco gas station near Southwest 112th Avenue and West Old Cutler Road on Nov. 18.
Antoinette Rowan was doing a transaction with two other people when her car was stolen.
At the time, Rowan told police there was a 3-year-old child inside the vehicle at the time it was taken. Police determined it was all a lie in an attempt to get her vehicle located faster.
