HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are seeking the public’s help in locating the man who was caught on surveillance video vandalizing a restaurant in Hollywood.
Footage from the June 15 incident shows the subject using a blunt object to strike the exterior of Miami Cheeks, located along Stirling Road, near North 56th Avenue.
The subject broke lamps, pushed over a ceramic statue and left several marks on the door of the sports bar.
The restaurant’s owner said the business has only been open for a couple of months, and he suspects the incident may have been racially motivated.
“We set out to bring different businesses to the community and to bring fun and nature — bring Miami to Hollywood and share it around the world,” said business owner Terry Elliott. “We’re prepared for people like that, and we’re not going to let that one person come in the way of stopping our representing other race of people.”
If you have any information on this act of vandalism, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
