CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are looking for an armed man who they believe followed the victim to his Coral Gables house before robbing him.
The victim’s home surveillance cameras were rolling during the moments he realized he was followed to his house near Ingraham Highway and Douglas Road around 11:50 a.m., Saturday.
According to police, the victim was returning to his residence when he saw a white BMW pull up to the bottom of his driveway. The subject exited the passenger side of the vehicle and pointed a handgun at the victim.
“He noticed a vehicle pulled up to his driveway,” said Coral Gables Police Sgt. Tom Salcedo. “For the victim, if you see the video, it was very frightening, especially when someone has a handgun pointed at you.”
The victim ran away from the subject and fell. That’s when police believe he dropped the bag of jewelry containing an undisclosed amount of jewelry.
The subject grabbed the bag and took off in the BMW.
“A lot of people just set up in banks, and if they see people carrying out bags, they will follow them,” Salcedo said. “To most cases, that happens a lot.”
The subject was described as having a thin build, 160 to 170 pounds, 17 to 25 years old with dreadlocks tied in a bun. He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt and dark gray jeans.
If you have any information on this robbery, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
