Residents Alert Police, Resulting in Arrests After Burglary Attempt in Miami-Dade

Miami-Dade County, Florida:  Three suspects were apprehended by the police after a masked burglary team in Miami-Dade was thwarted by an armed homeowner.

Three guys were taken into custody on Thursday after an unsuccessful effort was made to break into a house in the northwest area of Miami-Dade County.

The suspects drove a Dodge Charger to the residence on Southwest 83rd Court, according to the police.

After getting out of the automobile, two men leaped a fence and went after many parked cars at the house.

The car’s closed doors prevented 18-year-old Payton Pierre from stealing the black Rolls Royce that was shown on surveillance tape.

Additionally, 20-year-old Kamari Jackson was seen on camera snatching an unknown quantity of cash from an unlocked Jeep Wrangler.

The suspects were approached by an armed homeowner who had leased a Volkswagen SUV and was parked at the premises.

Troops from the Florida Highway Patrol were able to intercept the car and take all three individuals into custody.

Charges of breaking into an occupied house while wearing a mask and breaking into an unoccupied vehicle led to the arrest of Pierre, Jackson, and Ervin.
