MIAMI (WSVN) - Police are investigating after a group of men broke into a T-Mobile store in Miami and stole $10,000 worth of merchandise.
It happened at around 3 a.m., Tuesday, at the T-Mobile store located along Northwest 27th Avenue and 17th Street.
Surveillance cameras captured a man using a hammer to break through the glass on the front door – enough to reach in and unlock it. Once inside, three other men followed.
The video also shows the men ripping through the displays and grabbing everything they could get their hands on.
The manager of the store said it was clear they knew where to go and what to grab, getting away with $10,000 worth in iPhones and Samsung phones. He also said they caused about $14,000 worth in damages.
7News spoke with the man who called police, who said he saw two men take off. “They were running, running away,” said the man, who did not wish to be identified. “I couldn’t see their faces, but they were tall and skinny.”
“I think it’s crazy people nowadays that do stuff like that,”said Robert Yarihuaman, who lives nearby. “I’m guessing probably they don’t have a job or stuff like that and they’re desperate to do something like this.”
The men were dressed in all black from head-to-toe and wore ski masks.
If you have any information on this break-in, 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.
