MIAMI SPRINGS, FLA. (WSVN) - A young man has been arrested after he allegedly broke into a Miami Springs home and stole a safe containing more than $20,000 in valuables.
The break-in happened at Jason Navarro’s home near Hammond Drive and Heron Avenue at around 1 p.m. on March 3.
“Everything was gone,” Navarro said. “All my shoes, my PlayStation, my jewelry, all the guns, everything was gone. You work so hard for everything you have for just somebody that has no job and nothing to do to just come in your house and take what’s yours. It just sucks.”
Police arrested 18-year-old Joshua Campos on Wednesday. He and an accomplice are accused of breaking into the home and making off with a safe containing $2,000 cash, three guns, a laptop and a PlayStation.
Navarro said he was at work when he got a notification from his Nest doorbell camera.
“I looked at it, and he’s just there knocking and knocking and looking at the camera,” Navarro said. “I’m like, ‘This doesn’t look right.'”
He then called Miami Springs Police to check out what was going on at the home.
According to the arrest report, when officers arrived on the scene, they spotted a suspicious vehicle in the alleyway behind Navarro’s home. They said when they approached the vehicle, it took off speeding through the neighborhood.
“And they said they were going like 100 mph through Springs, taking stop signs, and they lost him on 36th Street,” Navarro said.
Police said they had to stop the pursuit because of safety concerns, but they were able to get a description of the car, which would lead them to Campos.
Campos appeared before a judge on Thursday, and he faces charges of armed burglary and grand theft. If found guilty, he could face life in prison.
He was denied bond.
His accomplice has not been caught.
