NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Broward County Sheriff's SWAT team and Margate police responded to a neighborhood overnight near U.S. 441 and Kimberly Boulevard in North Lauderdale after an armed robbery was reported at a Farm Store.
The robbery was reported just before midnight Wednesday at the Farm Store at 6440 Kimberly Blvd.
Officers blocked off a nearby intersection and armored trucks rushed to the scene.
"The police was here (and) we had to get out of the house," Shyann Finley, who lives in the area, said. "There was a whole bunch of police with guns (and a) SWAT team truck."
Sky 10 flew over the scene as deputies loaded a handcuffed man into the back of a patrol car.
