Cars at gated community in northwest Miami-Dade broken into overnight, deputies say

Multiple cars were broken into at a northwest Miami-Dade gated community, and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office says the person responsible is still on the run.

Multiple residents at the Corinthian Apartments walked out of their homes Thursday morning to find their windows smashed and their cars ransacked. One woman said this is not the first time something like this happened.

"Who wants to wake up and see their cars like this?" one woman said.

Window after window after window of cars at an apartment complex on Northwest 22nd Avenue near 79th Street were shattered early Thursday morning.

"They keep breaking into cars. They need to do something about it. It's very sad. We wake up. We work hard for ours and they all broken up," the woman said.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said they received a 911 call just before 3 a.m. When deputies arrived, they found around two dozen cars had been hit.

Residents say they were woken up by a knock at the door.

"It's 5 a.m. and I was sleeping with my kid and the police officer just came and said, 'Hey, your car is broken,' and I was sleeping," said Betsy Acosta, whose car was burglarized.

Instead of getting ready for work, people spent the morning trying to figure out what was taken from their vehicles.

"Some of our baby's stuff was stolen from the car, which was unfortunate," William Sosa said. "It looks like they went through everything in the car, and they took a lot of time going through the cars. Pretty unfortunate, we all have to deal with this now."

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office is investigating this case and has no one in custody.
