A Hialeah resident driving on Palmetto Expressway was shocked to see her father's stolen truck passing by. The surprising encounter happened on June 3rd. The 22-year-old couldn't believe her eyes but immediately knew what she had to do: she was determined to return the truck to her father.
According to her interview with Local 10, she first called her father, who advised her to notify the police. The young woman, accompanied by a friend in her car, followed the truck for quite a while, between 20 to 30 minutes. At one point, she feared the thieves might have realized they were being followed.
"He made a very awkward turn, and we had to make that awkward turn right behind him," she explained, choosing to remain anonymous.
They eventually reached northeast Miami-Dade, where the police were already present. A video recorded by the young woman shows several officers aiming their weapons at the stolen vehicle. In response, the suspects fled the scene.
Minutes later, two men were apprehended. The video captures one of them handcuffed and walking alongside an officer. According to the young woman, when her father learned how everything had ended, he proudly told her, "You're a rock star."
