Cops Round Up Miramar Home Invasion Suspects
MIRAMAR (CBSMiami) – Three down, one to go as Miramar police round up those they believe are responsible for a home invasion earlier this month.
Jose Fernando Osorio, 21; Victor Mario Guerra Gomez, 22; and Yolianne Figueroa, 19, have been charged with armed home invasion and kidnapping. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the fourth subject identified as 19-year old Alexandre Lohrengel.
The robbery occurred just after 1 a.m. on May 23rd.
"I thought they were cops, and I didn't have anything to hide so I opened the door," said Rick Estrada. "They said 'It's the police, we've got a search warrant'."
Estrada said he had just finished watching the Heat game when he heard pounding on the front door of his home at Southwest, 117th Avenue.
When he looked out his peephole, he saw two men with SWAT team badges, bullet proof vests and guns. Three men stormed in along with a woman who had earlier come to his door inquiring about an address.
"I had just left ten minutes before it happened, so I'm guessing someone was watching. It was planned," said his son Richard Estrada.
Estrada said the three men demanded money and punched him in the face. At one point, one of the suspects pointed a gun to his head.
According to Estrada, they located a safe that contained several thousand dollars.
He managed to escape and ran out the front door.
Anyone with information on Lohrengel's whereabouts is urged to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
