At least two people were detained early Tuesday during a drug investigation in Miami Beach.
The investigation led officers and members of Miami Beach’s SWAT team to serve a search warrant at a home near 75th Street and Carlyle Avenue at 6 a.m., according to Miami Beach police.
NBC6 recorded one man being taken into custody and put inside a police cruiser. The news station says another man, in handcuffs, was sitting on the ground.
