MIAMI (WSVN) - Police are investigating after cameras captured burglars taking off with approximately $5,000 worth of liquor from a store in Miami.
City of Miami Police officers responded to Jensen’s Liquors, located at 1646 SW 27th Ave., at 3 a.m., Tuesday.
While the liquor store was closed, surveillance footage captured two crooks breaking the glass front door with a sledgehammer.
One of the masked men proceeded to kick in the broken glass before the two made their way inside.
They jumped over the counter and grabbed several bottles of rum and champagne before fleeing the scene.
“Once inside, the two men were able to get a hold of about $5,000 worth of liquor, and they left within minutes,” said City of Miami Officer Kenia Fallat.
One of the bottles taken is said to be worth up to $2,000, according to a store employee.
Officials said there was also another individual involved who worked as the getaway driver behind the wheel of a black or dark-colored pickup truck.
Detectives said the men they are searching for were last seen wearing black pants, black hoodies and masks over their faces.
“Someone may recognize their mannerisms because their faces — and not just partially but possibly completely — covered,” said Fallat.
If you have any information on this business burglary, 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.
