MIAMI — Body camera and surveillance video exclusively obtained by Local 10 News on Tuesday show the moments police say three suspects forced their way into a Little Havana home, attacked two victims, and were taken into custody late last year.
Miami police said they arrested Augustin Hernandez, 46, Rogelio Espina, 54, and Yoamil Napoles, 50, in connection with a robbery that occurred on Dec. 29, 2025, at a home in the 3100 block of Southwest Eighth Street.
Video shows a man struggling on the floor as the intruders overpower him before forcing their way into the home around 10 p.m., where police say they restrained a man and a woman with zip ties, assaulted them and demanded money.
Detectives said the suspects coerced one of the victims into opening a black safe containing about $400 in cash. The report also states that one of the suspects took gold jewelry from the victims.
They said the male victim reported being punched, having his mouth covered to prevent him from calling for help, and being tied up as he pleaded for officers to help him.
The woman said she was asleep when she was awakened by yelling, then struck, restrained and gagged, the report states.
Miami Fire Rescue evaluated both victims at the scene.
Investigators said the man suffered a broken nose and a laceration to the cheek, while the woman had a cut on her foot. Both declined to be taken to the hospital, according to the report.
Body camera video shows officers arriving at the scene and hearing distress inside the home before setting up a perimeter and ordering the trio to surrender.
“Hands up! Turn around,” officers are heard shouting in the video before the suspects were taken into custody.
Court records show all three men have remained at the Metrowest Detention Center without bond since Dec. 30. Arrest reports list Hernandez and Espina as homeless, while Napoles is listed as living in the city’s Grapeland Heights neighborhood.
Local 10 News spoke with the victims, who said they remain shaken but are relieved the suspects are behind bars as the case moves forward.
