Suspects bail from Alfa Romeo in Broward after I-95 police chase. Four were detained but then released
Broward police detained four men after searching for robbery suspects who bailed out of a rented Alfa Romeo in Lauderhill Monday evening. The car chase originally began in Miami-Dade County.
But the four men were released Monday without charges, a Broward Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said.
The robbery suspects got out of the car at an apartment complex in the area of Northwest 56th Street and 25th Avenue. Broward sheriff’s deputies were at the complex.
The 2600 block of Northwest 56th Avenue is closed for the police search. Helicopter video taken by WSVN showed the car coming to a stop at the building and a group of men running into the building.
Royal Palm Elementary and Endeavor Primary Learning Center were placed on lockdown but are now resuming normal operations.
The police chase began Monday afternoon on Ives Dairy Road, near the border of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with the suspects eventually speeding north on Interstate 95, according to Miami Herald news partner CBS Miami.
The car was connected to a Sunday night armed robbery at Town Center mall, a Boca Raton spokesperson said.
Two men jumped out of the bright blue Alpha Romeo Giulia and demanded a woman turn over $250 she made in tips, a Boca Raton spokesperson said. The woman took pictures of the car, which helped Miami-Dade police spot it near the Aventura Mall on Monday.
No other information was immediately available.
