MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A man was placed in handcuffs after a short law enforcement pursuit involving a stolen car on Wednesday in northwestern Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies reported noticing a black four-door Cadillac sports utility vehicle that had been reported stolen in Miami Gardens.
The deputies, who specialize in robbery intervention, started to follow the driver at Northwest 22nd Avenue and 151st Street, according to MDSO.
Three unmarked law enforcement cars followed the driver, who slowed down and stopped, but did not get out of the stolen Cadillac, authorities said.
One of the unmarked cars performed a Precision Immobilization Technique, or PIT maneuver, and stopped the Cadillac along Northwest 152nd Street.
The driver got out of the Cadillac and ran eastbound along Northwest 152nd Street, across Rail Road Drive, and into a house’s yard near Opa-locka, according to deputies.
As he approached the train tracks, deputies in dark uniforms surrounded him, put him in handcuffs, and escorted him to a marked MDSO patrol car.
The driver was identified as 26-year-old Klauss Anthony Moise.
Moise is accused of not stopping when deputies tried to pull him over.
Moise was next to a marked MDSO patrol car before Florida Highway Patrol troopers searched him again and put him in a marked FHP car.
Local 10 News learned Moise has faced legal trouble before. In 2022, he was charged with accessory after the fact in the death of Amanda Collins. Police said he helped Collins’ boyfriend, Xavier West, dump her body in a canal in Opa-locka.
Now, nearly four years later, Moise is facing trouble again -- this time with a new set of charges.
Jail records show he is facing one count each of second-degree grand theft, fleeing or eluding police who used lights and siren and resisting an officer without violence to his person.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
