PINECREST, Fla. — Several burglary suspects got away after a police pursuit early Sunday morning, and two crashes in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, police said.

At 2 a.m., a police officer on patrol in Pinecrest reported there was a suspicious gray BMW parked on the wrong side of Southwest 66 Avenue, according to the Pinecrest Police Department.

The driver of the BMW crashed into the Pinecrest police officer’s patrol car after several car burglary suspects wearing ski masks and dressed in black ran out of a house’s yard, according to police.

The burglary suspects fled in the BMW, and a pursuit moved northbound on State Road 826 until the on-duty PPD supervisor decided to terminate it near Sunset Drive, according to police.

The driver of the BMW continued speeding northbound, crossed from Miami-Dade to Broward County, and crashed on Interstate 95 northbound near Griffin Road in Hollywood, according to police.

One of the suspects was arrested. The police officer in Pinecrest was not injured.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.

CRIME INVESTIGATION: Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen released this photograph on Sunday of a gray BMW related to a burglary, a crash, and a police pursuit.
