MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Cellphone video captured a person behind the wheel of a stolen Corvette driving onto a sidewalk in Miami Beach.
Miami Beach Police responded around 3:20 p.m. to the scene after a stationary license plate reader located the yellow Corvette along Sixth Street and Washington Avenue.
The driver fled. At the corner of Michigan Avenue and Fourth Street, the vehicle could be seen on cellphone video driving on the sidewalk.
Cellphone video footage also captured police following behind and having to change direction in order to keep up with the stolen car.
The reckless ride passed by South Pointe Elementary School, which led to a temporary lockdown during dismissal.
Officials eventually found the yellow Corvette in the parking lot of Smith & Wollensky steakhouse, at 1 Washington Avenue, where they arrested at least two people suspected of taking the vehicle on that dangerous drive.
The suspects arrested were later identified as 40-year-old Raul Martin Decasanova and 32-year-old Ashley Jolyn Wymer.
Both suspects were found inside the restaurant, while drugs were discovered inside the vehicle.
Decasanova and Wymer now face multiple charges for resisting an officer, grand theft, drug possession, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
