What started as an armed home invasion, soon turned into a police pursuit, ending at a gas station in Pembroke Pines at the intersection of Pines Boulevard and University Drive with two robbery suspects in custody.
At approximately 6:05 a.m., on Monday, a woman called 911 stating that a man entered her home armed with a knife.
“They just update to a 41 home invasion. Advised a male broke into her house with a knife,” a woman said over the broadcastify.
It is unclear if the suspect stole anything or if there was any form of altercation between the two, but the man did flee the home afterwards.
Police quickly spotted the vehicle in connection to the robbery on the road, prompting a brief pursuit.
“We’re going southbound on University from Pembroke Pines,” radioed an officer.
The chase came to a halt at a Marathon gas station located off Pines Boulevard and University Drive, where 7Skyforce showed aerial footage of police surrounding the vehicle.
“They’ve got two subjects at gun point, they’re refusing to leave the vehicle,” said an officer.
One suspect, a male, wearing a blue shirt, was seen handcuffed and speaking with detectives briefly before being put in the back of a cruiser. Another suspect was also taken into custody.
The doors to the vehicle were open as law enforcement searched the car and conducted their investigation. A cellphone and what appears to be a surveillance camera were seen on the floor nearby the car and recovered as evidence.
The gas station was taped off as Crime Scene Investigation Units collected the evidence both in and surrounding the car.
According to police, this was an isolated incident and the robbery happened within city limits.
