Coral Gables Residents Upset Over Recent Crimes
CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) – Some Coral Gables residents are angry about recent crime in the city.
Most recently, a Univision anchor and her husband were the victims of a burglary with more than $60,000 in personal items CBS4 news partner, The Miami Herald, reported.
Thieves burglarized the Andalusia Avenue home of Gloria Ordaz and Freddie Balsera in the afternoon around 1:14 p.m. when no one was home, police said.
Ordaz is a reporter and anchor for channel 23.
The case is just one of recent high-profile cases.
Police responded to a home on Navarre Avenue after a woman watering her plants was forced inside of her home and robbed of more than $147,000 in jewelry.
No arrests have been made.
In May, the paper reported, the vice president of programing and original production at Univision was also burglarized. Police said more than $600,000 in watches were stolen.
On Tuesday, more than 150 people gathered for a crime watch meeting at the Coral Gables Library. Members of the Coral Gables police department, as well as the Fire Department were in attendance.
At least two city commissioners are asking the police to do more about the crime.
