Brightline Train
On March 9th, 2023, just before 3:00 pm, we responded to a collision involving a Brightline train and a vehicle at Washington Ave and S. Dixie Highway. Sadly, the driver of the vehicle, a man born in 1944, ignored the crossing gates and was hit by the southbound train. We want to take a moment to remind everyone about the importance of obeying traffic signals, including those at railroad crossings. Not doing so can lead to severe injury or even loss...
Can you identify us?
You were caught on camera, now let's talk. Three suspects entered Whole Foods and distracted an elderly victim to steal from her. The woman in white talked to the victim, while the one in the black shirt took her wallet from her purse. Then, all three left the store together. The suspects then went shopping at a local Walmart and spent over $500 with the victim's credit card. Help us identify them.
