Authorities in South Florida have made significant headway in the investigation into a bold armed robbery that occurred earlier this July outside the local Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill. Two suspects have been arrested and appeared in court today, facing serious charges after a couple was robbed at gunpoint, as WSVN reports. The Miramar Police Department is still on the hunt for a third suspect linked to the crime who currently remains at large.
Sources indicate that the trio involved in the robbery made purchases with the victims' credit card at a store in Miramar, not long after the crime. In a brazen display of recklessness, one suspect hosted an Instagram Live video flaunting a gold chain purportedly taken from one of the robbery victims. Despite the arrest of two individuals, the search for the final suspect continues.
The incident, which took place on July 11 around 12:39 a.m., escalated when the suspects were confronted by the victims after the robbery. Hoodline reports that there was an exchange of gunfire between the parties. The suspects and the victims fired shots, yet, fortunately, no injuries were reported and no bystanders were hit during the exchange.
Information about the suspects and the specifics of the stolen items has not been publicly released as Miramar Police work to gather more evidence and witness testimony. Miramar Police spokeswoman Tania Ordaz urged the community to come forward with any information that could aid in their investigation. The department strives to piece together the narrative of this crime that briefly shattered the early morning calm of the community.
As more details emerge and witnesses come forward, updates are expected. In the meantime, anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Miramar Police Department.
