<\/p>\nA man is facing charges after breaking into a Miami Beach deli, causing over $1,000 in damage, authorities said. <\/p>\n
Fleisch 41 manager Moshe Wakefield said he got a call in the middle of the night from a neighboring business on Dec. 23. He said the neighbor saw a man breaking into his deli on 41st Street in Miami Beach. <\/p>\n
Police identified the man as 45-year-old Christopher Pike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“One of our good neighbors called me at 3 in the morning. Telling me what was up,” Wakefield said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pike was seen via surveillance video trying to disable a ring camera out front of the business. However, the footage survived. <\/p>\n
And there were more cameras inside the store. <\/p>\n
Pike was seen trying to get a drink from the fridge, and when he got to the register, police arrived. Police said Pike continued to try and pry open the register even after being confronted by officers. <\/p>\n
He was arrested at the scene.<\/p>\n

“Within a minute and a half, two minutes they came right away,” Wakefield said about the police response. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Wakefield said his ring camera and cash register were damaged, and a window was shattered. That totaled over $1,500 in damage. But he said it could have been much worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We have expensive meats over here and whatnot, so who knows,” Wakefield said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wakefield said he’s grateful for the quick response by police, and for a Miami Beach police cruiser that’s keeping an eye on the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We have a phenomenal community over here, and they make sure we’re safe,” Wakefield said.<\/p>\n
On top of this incident, court records show Pike has been arrested more than a dozen other times in the last three years. His next court appearance is Friday, Dec. 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n
