Deputies say a Miami-Dade couple turned a family outing into an alleged SUV theft last Friday, driving into Hollywood with their young daughter and targeting a late-model vehicle. Investigators report the man forced his way into a 2025 Honda CR-V, reprogrammed the SUV and removed its tracking gear before detectives moved in to stop both cars, finding the child asleep in a trailing vehicle.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office identified the suspects as 32-year-old Jeyson Javier of Opa-Locka and 25-year-old Daniela Alfonso Dominguez. Detectives with BSO’s Burglary Apprehension Team say they were tailing a Honda Civic when they watched Javier step out with a skateboard, walk up to a vehicle parked at 2200 S. Ocean Drive in Hollywood and allegedly force entry into a 2025 Honda CR-V, reprogram it and drive off. Investigators say Javier then stopped the SUV in Miami Gardens, removed its GPS unit and later took it to an apartment complex at 20401 NW 17th Avenue, according to details reported by Local 10.
Public booking logs from the June 5 arrest show both Javier and Dominguez were booked into Broward County custody, and the daily roster lists their names along with basic charges. According to the entries, they face counts of grand theft auto, possessing burglary tools with intent to use and neglect of a child without great bodily harm, as reflected on the Broward booking report at Arrests.org.
Charges and custody
According to Local 10, both suspects face the grand theft auto, burglary-tools and child-neglect counts, while Javier also has an out-of-county hold tied to another grand theft case. Local 10 reports that Javier was being held at the Broward County Main Jail without bond as of Tuesday morning. Dominguez was no longer listed in the online jail database at that time. Both suspects declined to speak with detectives, according to the arrest report.
Under Florida law, child neglect without great bodily harm falls under the state’s child-abuse statute and can be prosecuted as a third-degree felony in many cases, with possible prison time and fines. See Florida Statute 827.03 on the Florida Legislature site for the statutory language and penalties.
What investigators say about the method
The Burglary Apprehension Team, known as B.A.T., is BSO’s unit that tracks organized vehicle-theft crews across the county, and the agency has repeatedly flagged the kind of technical tricks used to steal newer cars. BSO public releases describe the team’s role in finding stolen vehicles and working with partner agencies across jurisdictions. International reporting and technical coverage have outlined related schemes, from relay attacks to reprogramming through a vehicle’s OBD port, that let thieves start and move keyless or modern cars without the original key, a trend documented in prior news reports.
How owners can reduce risk
Police and security experts often recommend layering defenses: storing key fobs in signal-blocking pouches, using steering-wheel locks or OBD-port locks, and asking dealers about security software updates. Consumer and law-enforcement advisories have urged owners of keyless vehicles to adopt these measures after relay and reprogramming thefts were caught on security cameras. For a practical look at how relay-style thefts work and prevention tips, see reporting by ITV.
BSO is asking anyone with information about this case to contact the agency or Broward Crime Stoppers, and the sheriff’s office posts regular B.A.T. updates on its website. The public Broward booking roster also lists the names and charges for those following the case as it moves toward potential prosecution.
