DORAL, Fla. – Police are searching for more suspected car thieves after they were caught on camera stealing two vehicles Wednesday night in Doral.
Local 10 News reporter Rosh Lowe spoke to new Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez who warned thieves to “think twice’ before committing a crime in his area.
“Not only do we have a dedicated team of individuals that are trained and equip to handle anything that is presented to us, we also have a city with a new mayor and a city manager and elected officials that really support law enforcement,” said Lopez.
Surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News shows three men wearing black hoodies and getting into SUVs that appear to be unlocked.
