NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Beware of this Grinch in Miami-Dade County.
Surveillance videos show a brazen thief in a red car who stole Christmas decorations from a family in North Miami Beach.
“It’s unbelievable, especially with my kids. They usually play outside, and now I’m afraid of that,” said a mother who asked not to be named.
The thief stopped his car -- which had a Florida tag N4ERRJ -- in front of the family’s house on Tuesday morning near Northeast 180th Street and 16 Avenue.
The mother was holding her baby after returning from Walmart. A grandmother and her grandchildren were home.
The thief drove into the family’s front yard and stole four Christmas inflatables, including a large Christmas tree and a Minnie.
The North Miami Beach Police Department is on the case. Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
