MacArthur Causeway reopened as police take four people into custody
The MacArthur Causeway has reopened after being shut down for more than an hour by Miami Beach police.
Five people were arrested and officers seized 8 dirt bikes and ATVs, Miami Beach Police said.
“These arrests should serve as a reminder to those considering the reckless and illegal operation of these vehicles; you will be stopped and arrested,” the department said in a statement Sunday.
According to the police reports, some of the drivers were charged with reckless driving, resisting and fleeing a police officer, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Around 7:30 p.m., police tweeted the causeway was closed in both directions due to a police search. At the time, police said they were searching for a subject who was possibly armed.
