According the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, deputies were alerted after a license plate reader flagged a stolen vehicle in the area of Northwest 79th Street and Seventh Avenue just after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

A MDSO detective briefly observed the vehicle, a 2024 white Acura MDX, near Northwest 12th Street before losing sight of it, deputies said.

At that point, deputies conducted a canvass of the area and eventually located the SUV in the area of Northwest 57th Street and Eighth Avenue after it had been involved in a hit-and-run crash, according to MDSO.

Deputies said they observed the suspect who was driving the stolen SUV running away from the crash scene, leading to a perimeter being established.

Soon after, authorities said they took the suspect, who has not been identified, into custody without incident.

There were no injuries reported, deputies said.
