MIRAMAR, Fla. – Authorities are searching for three men who suspected of carrying a series of carjackings last week in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Pembroke Pines police said a woman was driving along in the 12900 block of Pembroke Road around 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 13 when two vehicles stopped in front of her SUV. The woman fled in reverse as a masked man got out of one of the vehicles and approached her car. The gunmen fired several shots at the woman's SUV, but she was not hurt and called for help at a nearby gas station.
