>> THANK YOU.
THE CURFEW COMING INTO PLAY
AFTER REPORTS OF LOOTING AT
BAYSIDE MARKETPLACE AND NEW
VIDEO INTO THE NEWS ROOM APPEARS
TO CAMP SOME OF THE LOOTERS IN
THE ABILITY.
WE GO LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI
WITH THAT ANGLE OF THE STORY.
POLICE ARE THERE AND OF COURSE A
LOT OF SHOPS WERE CLOSED DOWN
BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC STARTING REOPENING AND
NOW THEY ARE DEALING WITH THIS
TRENT?
>> YEAH, THEY WERE ALREADY
STRUGGLING LAYRON HEADING INTO
THIS WEEKEND.
AS YOU MENTIONED THEY WERE SHUT
DOWN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DYING TO
THE ONGOING PANDEMIC.
THEY OPENED DOORS AND DAYS
LATEDDER THEY HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH THIS.
AS YOU MENTIONED WE ARE STARTING
TO SEE SOME OF THE DAMAGE LEFT
BEHIND.
NOW THAT THE SUN IS.
COMING UP AND WE’RE SEEING
SPORADICALLY THROUGHOUT THE
DOWNTOWN AREA SEVERAL BUSINESSES
VANDALIZED, SOME LOOTED.
RIGHT MIND THEY ME IS ONE OF
THOSE BUSINESSES.
OFFICERS ARE SPEAKING WITH THE
OWNER OF SUNGLASS SHOP WHICH
APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RANSACKED.
SCENES LIKE THIS PLAYING OUT ALL
OVER THE CITY THIS MORNING.
>> NO MATTER WHERE YOU LOOK.
THE SIGNS OF THE PROTESTS ARE
EVERYWHERE.
BUSINESSES LIKE THIS METRO PCS
STORE LEFT WITH A SHATTERED
FRONT DOOR AND SECURITY GUARD
OUTSIDE.
JUST A FEW BELOWS AWAY WE FOUND
SHATTERED WINDOWS ON THE
BUSINESS DOLL AND NESH VENDING
MACHINES VANDALIZED WORKERS SEEN
CLEANING UP HOURS AFTER THIS
SITE SHOWING A GROUP OF
PROTESTERS APPEARING TO STORM
THE SHOPS LOOTING STORMS AND
BUSINESSES BEFORE TAKING OFF
RUNNING.
THE VIEW FROM THE GROUND SHOWING
MUCH OF THE DAMAGE INCLUDING
TOPPLED OVER TRASH CANS AND
SMASHED UP PLANTERS.
THIS VIDEO FROM A NEARBY JEWELRY
STORE SHOWS LAWSUITERS BREAKING
INTO THE BUSINESS SATURDAY.
>> SAW IMAGES OF DISTURBS AT BAY
SIDE ON BISCAYNE BOULEVARD.
THIS IS THE EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
LAWLESSNESS THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE
AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE THAT THIS
COUNTY OFFICIALS WERE HOPING TO
AVOID ADDING THAT MUCH OF DAMAGE
SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY A SMALLER
GROUP OF PEOPLE INTENT ON
CREATING CHAOS.
>> MOST OF TODAY’S PROTESTERS
HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL BUT
UNFORTUNATELY SOME AGITATORS
AGITATORS WHO WE BELIEVE ARE
FROM OUTSIDE THE DWOWNTY
INJECTED VIOLENCE INTO WHAT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MORAL CALL
FOR JUSTICE.
>> BACK TO BAY SIDE GUYS.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO.
WE THOUGHT SHOT THIS AROUND 7:00
OR 7:30.
ONE MAN INTO CUSTODY LEANED OVER
ON THE BACK OF POLICE CRUISER
THERE.
IT’S UNCLEAR WHETHER IT’S
RELATED TO THE LOOTING.
WE DID FLARE POLICE A SHORT TIME
AGO WHO SAY THEY CANNOT CONFIRM
THAT THAT MAN WAS ARRESTED.
WE’RE STATE WAITING TO GET
ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
BACK OUT HERE AT THIS SUNGLASS
SHOP.
GUYS POLICE HERE RIGHT NOW
PRESUMABLY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE
DAMAGE AND PERHAPS FILE A
REPORT.
THE BUSINESS OWNER DID TELL ME A
SHORT TIME AGO HE SAYS 600
POWERS OF SUNGLASSES, MANY OF
THEM DESIGNER SUNGLASSES WERE
STOLEN FROM HERE.
HE IS REALLY WORRIED FOR THE
FUTURE OF HIS BUSINESS.
WHILE HE HAS ANOTHER LOCATION
WITH THE DEVASTATION CAUSED TO
THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION, WHICH
BY THE WAY HAS BEEN HERE SINCE
1983 HE FEELS THIS DO BE THE
FINAL STRAW FOR THIS PARTICULAR
SPOT IF HE DOESN’T GET HELP FROM
CITY OFFICIALS.
CLEANUP UNDERWAY HERE RIGHT
NOW.
WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TRACK
DUN THE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE
MORNING AND BRING YOU LATEST ON
LOCAL 10 NEWS AND ALSO ON THE
WEB SITE LOCAL10.COM.
