MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A southwest Miami-Dade man is facing felony charges after sheriff\u2019s deputies said he burglarized separate vehicles belonging to federal law enforcement officers and stole official gear.<\/p>\n
Both burglaries happened Sunday in the vicinity of Southwest 180th Street and 117th Avenue in the county\u2019s unincorporated South Miami Heights area.<\/p>\n
Deputies arrested the suspect, Erick Lluis, after spotting him on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to a Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office arrest report, the federal officers \u2015 working for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and Immigration and Customs Enforcement \u2015 live close to one another. They also live close to Lluis, who resides about a block away. <\/p>\n
Deputies said the 41-year-old burglarized their vehicles less than an hour apart.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Lluis stole an FBOP \u201cvest carrier, ID holder, hat and badge\u201d from one vehicle and \u201ca black sweater with \u2018Police ICE\u2019 printed on the back, a police radio charger and a fleet fuel card\u201d from the other.<\/p>\n
The report states that video from one of the burglaries showed Lluis rolling up on an electric scooter and breaking into one of the vehicles.<\/p>\n
According to the report, on Wednesday, a deputy spotted him near his home and tried to stop him, but he ran into his backyard.<\/p>\n
Deputies said they eventually found Lluis \u201cconcealing himself on the roof of a light-colored garage shed in the backyard\u201d and also found the ICE sweater \u201claying on the ground\u201d inside the open shed.<\/p>\n
Authorities said they recovered the FBOP gear after obtaining a search warrant. <\/p>\n
Jail records show Lluis was taken into custody on two counts of burglary and one count of fleeing and eluding.<\/p>\n
As of Thursday, Lluis was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $22,500 bond with a listed hold for another, unspecified, agency.<\/p>\n
