MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Miami Beach police are investigating after 24 vehicles were burglarized early Monday in the North Beach neighborhood.
Officers responded to the 100 block of North Shore Drive around 6:21 a.m. following reports of multiple auto break-ins, police said.
Many people woke up to find their car windows smashed with shattered glass inside.
People were seen wearing safety gloves and using a towel to sweep the cluster of glass out of their cars.
Miami Beach Police said, it appears only miscellaneous items were taken.
7News spoke with some of the victims, many of them said, they didn’t have much taken as they typically don’t keep valuables in their cars but still they are alarmed and frustrated.
“I was surprised. Usually we feel the security in this community. We’ve never had any problems,” said Mary Delbeke.
“It’s the holidays. Some of these cars are not ours. They like our family members that came to visit us. This is just really messed up,” said Elora Roy.
Detectives are actively gathering evidence and working to identify those responsible.
The investigation remains ongoing.
