The owner of Irepair Tech, located at 4500 Northwest 183rd Street in Miami Gardens, shared the video with NBC6 that shows the man sporting a cardboard box on his head, shattering the glass displays and reaching in to grab the phones.
Jeremias Berganza, the store's owner, told NBC6 the incident happened around 4 a.m. Saturday when he saw the man's face on the surveillance video and started to investigate around the shopping plaza where his business is located.
He said he asked people to let him know if the saw the suspect and in time found out the culprit was at the same plaza drinking with his friends at a nearby liquor store.
