Updated on Oct. 15, 2026 in Property Crime
Three masked individuals failed to burglarize a Mercedes Maybach and a white Lincoln in the 3400 block of Chase Avenue on Wednesday. After discovering the car doors were locked, the suspects fled the scene in a maroon Tesla.
Why it matters
The attempted theft highlights the ongoing risk of property crime in residential areas of Miami Beach. The failed burglary attempt at a neighboring residence during the same afternoon suggests a broader pattern of opportunistic activity by the suspects.
A $5,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of the three individuals seen in surveillance footage. The investigation is ongoing as officials review evidence related to the attempted thefts in the 3400 block.
The details
The suspects, wearing hoods and masks, systematically checked parked vehicles in the neighborhood for unlocked doors. After their unsuccessful attempts on the Mercedes Maybach and white Lincoln, they retreated to their maroon Tesla and vacated the area.
