Cars towed from Miami car dealership during extensive FBI investigation

An extensive investigation including agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took place at a Miami car dealership for about seven hours on Wednesday.

Neighbors told CBS News Miami that FBI agents arrived at Cube Motors in the area of Northwest 79th Street and Third Avenue in Miami around 6 a.m.

FBI agents were spotted inside the gate of Cube Motors and were also seen taking photos of vehicles and of the business itself.

Video from the scene early Wednesday morning showed FBI agents at the business, with one man coming out of the building with his hands up, and another was seen being questioned while wearing handcuffs.

Both have since been released, and CBS News Miami crews spotted approximately five vehicles being towed from the business.

An FBI spokesperson told CBS News Miami that the investigation was part of what he described as court-ordered law enforcement activity in the area.

City of Miami police said they were not involved in the investigation, but Miami-Dade police said they were at the scene on Wednesday.

Information about why the investigation was taking place at Cube Motors has not yet been released.

CBS News Miami reached out to Cube Motors through an email address and three telephone numbers, but so far there has been no response.

After FBI agents left, the business was closed and a padlock was placed on its front gate.
