According to the sheriff’s office, the drone footage revealed these individuals breaking into a shipping container, tossing packages to the ground, and subsequently leaping into a nearby alley.
Law enforcement successfully apprehended two suspects, identified as 25-year-old Shaun Smythe and 26-year-old Marcus Moore, in the vicinity of the 300-block of West 60th Place.
The third suspect, 44-year-old Errol Miller, attempted to escape in a minivan but was eventually captured in the 100-block of West 87th Street.
