Police investigate trail of commercial burglaries in Kendall

Detectives search for burglars targeting Kendall businesses

KENDALL, Fla. – These burglars used a rock to smash the front glass doors of four businesses in Kendall on Friday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.

When they got inside the Starbucks at 7708 North Kendall Drive, they took the cash register. It was empty. But the manager estimated the damage of the shattered glass door and the register was about $320.

Surveillance video showed one was wearing a black sweatshirt with a hoodie and black pants. The other was wearing a gray jacket with a hoodie and shorts.

They got lucky at the Margarita Food Market, 9869 N. Kendall Dr., where they stole about $850 from the cash register and the ATM, according to the business owner.

The pair also allegedly took $150 from the cash register at Jamba Juice at 7704 N. Kendall Dr. And they also reportedly broke into the Di Papa's Restaurant at 9877 SW 88 St.
