DANIA BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – Newly released surveillance footage captured a woman running from someone with a firearm after what officials described as an attempted carjacking in Dania Beach.<\/p>\n
Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office detectives have yet to identify the apparent armed individual and are now seeking the public\u2019s assistance.<\/p>\n
\u201cA victim said that she was loading equipment into the trunk of her car when at some point two unknown subjects approached her and demanded her keys,\u201d said BSO spokesperson Miranda Grossman.<\/p>\n
The incident happened on June 6 in the parking lot of the Courtyard Marriott next to the Tri-Rail station, located near Griffin Road and Interstate 95.<\/p>\n
A woman could be seen running into the hotel lobby asking for help after she said someone with a gun tried to steal her car in the hotel\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the alleged armed subject followed her to the lobby and is seen gesturing through the lobby front doors with what appears to be a handgun.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the subjects actually goes up to the front door and points her firearm inside the lobby. And then for a few moments, you can see there\u2019s an exchange of words between people inside and between the subject before the subject then walks away,\u201d said Grossman.<\/p>\n
While nobody was hurt, authorities are concerned by the subject\u2019s blas\u00e9 attitude to wave the weapon around, endangering numerous lives so casually in broad daylight.<\/p>\n
\u201cFelt very comfortable brandishing the gun and following with a gun towards the hotel lobby. It\u2019s really frightening and very brazen of these criminals to do this during the day time and in a busy parking lot, so that\u2019s why detectives are really urging people to call police if you recognize the subject if you were there. Any small piece of information,\u201d said Grossman.<\/p>\n
Officials urge anyone with information on the subjects involved to contact BSO\u2019s Robbery Detective Daniel Cortes at 954-321-4296 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch app.<\/p>\n
