A member of the Miami Springs Community, Yolanda Gómez, shared the news that her “mother-in-law’s car window was smashed and her purse was stolen” this past Thursday at approximately 1:00 PM. If you witnessed anything, have dash cam or other surveillance video of the area, please contact the Miami Springs Police Department at 305.888.9711.
NOTE: Vehicular Burglary is the most common crime in Miami Springs. Typically, criminals are opportunistic testing and opening unlocked vehicles. However, in this case, the window was smashed, apparently to steal the purse. Obviously, the police recommend not to leave valuables in your car and that you keep your vehicle locked at all times.
Here’s Yolanda’s original post to the Miami Springs Community Group on Facebook:

Vecinos, quiero compartir esto para que estemos alertas. El pasado jueves a la 1:00 p.m., a mi suegra le rompieron el vidrio del carro y le robaron la cartera. Ocurrió aquí mismo, frente a Saratoga Springs Apartments, en el área de N Royal Poinciana.
Por favor no dejen nada de valor aunque sea “por un minuto” mantengan puertas cerradas y aseguren el vehículo,estén atentos a personas sospechosas alrededor.
