Two robbers impersonating police officers invade a home and handcuff couple

Miami-Dade police say two robbers impersonating police officers handcuffed a South Miami-Dade couple in their home and stole the cash from the couple’s safe around 3 a.m. Tuesday.

No one was injured. The three children in the house slept through the armed robbery.

Miami-Dade police Detective Argemis Colome said police don’t know how much was taken from the home in the 9800 block of Southwest 159th Street, which is just west of Palmetto Bay.

Robbers wore long-sleeved shirts with “Police” on a side, Colome said.

Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477) or by text at 274637.
