HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - A 30-year-old man was arrested following an investigation into a series of vehicle burglaries and a high-speed attempt to flee police in Hialeah, authorities said.
Miguel Gabriel Andres was taken into custody April 13, 2026, and faces charges including burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer.
According to the arrest report, Hialeah Police auto theft detectives began surveillance April 12 near West 14th Avenue and West 46th Street after multiple vehicle burglaries were reported in the area.
Detectives said they observed Andres removing a wheel from a silver 2022 Honda Accord in a residential parking lot and placing it into a gray Ford Explorer before driving away at a high rate of speed.
