Dear Neighbors,
There have been a series of high-end car thefts in the Coral Gables/Coco Plum area. This ring of thieves has now moved and is targeting neighboring areas.
According to our Lt. Valdes, this group of young men from Broward County, ages 16-24, target any high-end vehicles left unlocked in affluent neighborhoods, day or night. The thieves look for unretracted side view mirrors, signaling a car is unlocked. The video attached is of a recent theft in Pinecrest in broad daylight.
What can I do?
It’s easy. Regardless of the time of day or presence of a gate, do not leave your car unlocked in your driveway or your fob in your car. If you see a crime in progress or something suspicious please call 911.
Regards,
UHOSA
