MIAMI – A man is behind bars for taking a delivery truck.
Police arrested 37-year-old Lee Marven Garza-Vidales who, they said, robbed an Amazon delivery van before dumping the van a few blocks away in Southwest Miami-Dade.
It happened just after 1 p.m. Friday near Southwest 142nd Court and 284th Street.
According to investigators, the suspect approached the Amazon driver with his hand concealed by a cloth and pointed it at the victim as if he had a firearm.
The suspect also stole the driver’s phone and wallet.
Police observed the vehicle and subject matching the descriptions and attempted to conduct a traffic stop as it sped away from them.
The subject abandoned the vehicle and a perimeter was established.
A short time later, the subject was taken into custody.
The weapon was a multi-purpose tool with an extended cutting blade attached to an object to look like a gun wrapped in the same piece of cloth was recovered.
Garza-Vidales was charged with armed robbery and carjacking.
The driver was not injured and the property, to include the contents of the delivery truck, were recovered.
