Criminal Investigations The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) continues its investigation into a vehicle burglary and vehicle theft that occurred in the gated community. During the investigation, detectives recovered a cellular phone and a vehicle they believed were linked to the suspects. After obtaining a search warrant for each item, detectives contacted sister agencies for assistance in executing the warrants. Miami Beach Police assisted with the warrant for the vehicle and the US Secret Service assisted with the search warrant for the contents of the cellular telephone. As a result of searching the suspect's vehicle, detectives discovered a second cellular telephone and a laptop computer. Since these items may contain additional information about the suspects' identities, detectives are preparing additional search warrants. Detectives are also working with auto theft task forces to generate additional leads. Detective Gonzalez travelled to Orange County, Florida, to teach Autism Awareness to police personnel. The curriculum is taught to police officers to raise awareness and offer tips on how to better serve members of the community who may be on the Autism spectrum.
