MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A man was 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 151 Street, according to the M-DSO.
Three unmarked law enforcement cars followed the driver, who slowed down and stopped, but did not get out of the stolen Cadillac.
One of the unmarked cars performed a Precision Immobilization Technique, or PIT maneuver, and stopped the Cadillac along Northwest 152 Street.
The driver got out of the Cadillac and ran eastbound along Northwest 152 Street, across Rail Road Drive, and into a house’s yard near Opa-locka.
As he approached the train tracks, deputies in dark uniforms surrounded him, put him in handcuffs, and escorted him to a marked M-DSO patrol car.
The driver was next to a marked Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office patrol car before Florida Highway Patrol troopers searched him again and put him in a marked FHP car.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
