A Ring security camera had recorded a 36-year-old convicted felon stealing from the same home so many times that a resident recognized her, according to Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies.
The Coral Terrace neighborhood resident reported that Yamilet Alfonso returned to the home on Saturday, along Southwest 57 Court, near Coral Way, according to a deputy’s arrest report.
“The victim observed [Alfonso] approaching her residence as she was attempting to retrieve another package from the front of the residence and confronted [her],” the deputy wrote, adding that Alfonso fled.
Miami-Dade deputies tracked and arrested Alfonso on Tuesday, and corrections booked her early Wednesday morning at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, records show.
The victim submitted three videos of Alfonso: One shows her stealing $1,000 in Amazon packages on April 13, another $900 in Amazon packages on April 20, and another a $300 Amazon package on April 22, according to deputies.
Alfonso arrived at the victim’s home in Coral Terrace, near Coral Gables, either in a red Nissan sports utility vehicle or a white Honda Accord, according to the deputy’s arrest report.
Court records showed Alfonso faced four charges in two pending criminal cases. One was for three counts of grand theft, and the other for cocaine possession. Her bond was $5,000.
Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Michelle Delancy was set to preside over the two new cases.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Alfonso was last released from prison on Feb. 18, 2017, after a Miami-Dade judge sentenced her to a year and a day in prison on May 9, 2016, for a burglary of an occupied dwelling and grand theft on July 6, 2015.
Alfonso’s arrest record in Miami-Dade includes cocaine possession in 2012 and possession of a controlled substance in 2014 and 2019. It also includes arrests for burglary and grand theft in 2014, 2015, and 2021.
