Overview
- Miami police say a man dressed in black and wearing a ski mask entered a 13-year-old’s bedroom through a window around 4 a.m. near Northwest 10th Avenue and 48th Street.
- The intruder took the girl’s wallet and phone, and her mother later tracked the device using Find My iPhone to a nearby location.
- The mother photographed a man holding the phone, called 911, and officers recovered the device from a garbage bin and found the wallet near the home.
- Police detained a person seen with the phone but released him without arrest because investigators have not established he was the intruder.
- Detectives are processing the scene, phone, and wallet for latent fingerprints and possible DNA, and they are seeking anonymous tips through Miami‑Dade Crime Stoppers with a possible reward up to $5,000 while urging residents to secure windows and doors.
