A minor behind the wheel of what witnesses describe as a Maserati was issued citations after crashing the vehicle into the gate of an apartment complex and other cars on Sunday night in North Miami.
The video shows a white vehicle ramming into a gate at the Aliro apartment complex near Northeast 135th Street on Biscayne Boulevard, damaging several other cars in the process.
Right after the crash, one person starts running around before a second comes out, and the two take off on foot, the footage shows.
North Miami Police confirmed that the driver, a 17-year-old juvenile, fled the scene but was later found by officers. He was taken into custody after being medically cleared by Fire Rescue, but his name was not provided.
Police said they issued the teen citations before he was released to a guardian.
A witness, C, said he saw “a white Maserati… take the stop sign, try to make a left turn, no brakes whatsoever.”
“I saw two guys go ahead and jump out. They ran this way, and then they went back, I guess to get something in the car,” he said. “The owner of the Maserati came by and said that he let them take pictures of the car… I guess they sat inside… next thing you see, they took off of the apartment complex, and they took the car.”
Police, however, said the vehicle was not reported stolen.
One woman said she was sitting on her balcony with her baby when she heard and saw what happened, realizing that her own car was also hit.
She said people called 911, and officers tracked down the two individuals who fled the crash.
Officials said they have not identified the second person, and did not say whether they could face charges.
