MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Police have arrested two men accused of being involved in a recent Miami Beach drug bust.
Miami Beach Police took dangerous drugs off the street Monday night and made two arrests, and it’s all thanks to one tip.
Police raided three different locations, including two apartment units and a barbershop a few blocks away in Miami.
Rafy Rodriguez and Lazaro Perez were both arrested overnight Tuesday.
Rodriguez faces 12 narcotic-related felonies including a cocaine trafficking charge, possessing LSD, ecstasy and marijuana.
Perez was arrested on an unrelated warrant for a traffic violation.
According to an arrest affidavit, undercover detectives went into the barbershop multiple times over the last couple months and were able to buy drugs from Rodriguez.
On Monday night, police and K9 units went in and out of Rodriguez’s home and work.
The barbershop has since been closed and evidence stickers could be seen on the door handles outside.
Rodriguez is now behind bars on a $90,000 bond.
“It looks more like a drug store than a barbershop based on what was going on here,” said Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Mindy S. Glazer, “and while they are merely allegations, they are frightening considering there are children in this neighborhood.”
