MIAMI BEACH, Fla. \u2014 According to Miami Beach police, officers arrested Juan Carlos Manzaneraz-Juarez on March 8 for walking into an open sunglasses store on Lincoln Road and making off with two pairs of shades. He would later be released from jail on a $2,500 bond for a grand theft charge.<\/p>\n
But rather than lay low while out on bail, police say the 26-year-old came back for more shades \u2015 and upped the ante considerably.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the one-man crime wave centered on Solstice Sunglasses at 805 Lincoln Road.<\/p>\n
Rather than walk into the store during business hours and steal two pairs of shades, Manzaneraz-Juarez went to the store at around 2:30 a.m. on March 26, shattered the glass window with a metal pipe, crawled under the door frame and \u201cselected\u201d about 20 pairs of sunglasses from the display before leaving, according to a report from the Miami Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n
Cops said the heist totaled in upwards of $12,000 worth of shades. But they said he wasn\u2019t finished.<\/p>\n
Investigators said a Lincoln Road ambassador flagged down officers at around 8:30 Saturday morning to let them know that Solstice\u2019s front door was \u2015 again \u2015 \u201ccompletely shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MBPD report states that surveillance video from around 5 a.m. showed Manzaneraz-Juarez coming back for more, using a pole to shatter the front door, this time taking about 33 pairs worth about $19,000 in the span of around a minute before crawling back out.<\/p>\n
Police said they put out a wanted flyer for Manzaneraz-Juarez, who is homeless, and an officer identified him. On Saturday, police said they arrested him for breach of the peace on the beach near 16th Street. <\/p>\n
When they searched his backpack, they said they found about two dozen pairs of sunglasses \u201cwith the tags and anti-theft security devices attached.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manzaneraz-Juarez is now facing six more felony charges, including burglary.<\/p>\n
As of Monday afternoon, the Los Angeles native remained in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a bond of more than $40,000. It came with an added requirement that he\u2019ll have to prove that any bail money comes from a legitimate source.<\/p>\n
