Surveillance Video Shows Two Suspects Breaking Into Biscayne Boulevard Smoke Shop as Police Seek Identifications

Break-in captured on camera along a major Miami corridor

Miami police are investigating a break-in at a smoke shop on Biscayne Boulevard after surveillance video recorded two suspects entering the business during the early morning hours Tuesday. The footage, released as investigators seek help identifying those involved, shows the pair inside the store and later returning, causing damage during the incident.

The recording indicates the suspects entered the business twice. Authorities have not publicly identified the individuals, and no arrests had been announced as of Wednesday afternoon. The investigation remains active.

What the video shows and what remains unconfirmed

The surveillance video depicts two people forcing entry and moving through areas behind the counter, consistent with an apparent search for merchandise. The suspects are then seen leaving and later returning to the store a second time. The extent of the damage is visible in the aftermath, though police have not released an itemized list of losses or a dollar estimate of stolen property.

Investigators have not confirmed whether the suspects used a vehicle, which direction they fled, or whether any tools were recovered. Police have also not released suspect descriptions beyond what can be observed in the footage.

Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the individuals shown in the surveillance video to come forward.

Possible links to nearby incidents under review

The shop’s owner has raised concerns that the pair may be connected to other recent break-ins in the surrounding area. Police are reviewing whether the incident matches patterns seen in other burglaries, but no official link has been established. Detectives have not said whether the case is being treated as part of a broader series or as a stand-alone burglary.

How investigators typically build these cases

In commercial break-ins captured on video, detectives commonly rely on a combination of evidence sources to confirm identities and timelines, including:

• surveillance footage from neighboring businesses and city or private cameras along the corridor

• alarm logs and door-access or glass-break sensor records, when available

• forensic evidence potentially left at points of entry, including fingerprints or shoe impressions

• digital trails from resold items, if stolen merchandise is recovered during follow-up investigations

Police are urging anyone with information to contact investigators. Tips can also be submitted through local crime-stoppers channels, including anonymous reporting options.
