Recent Security Alert
The recent vandalism and thefts of at least 12 cars inside a nearby Brickell condominium remind us of the importance of having the most vigilant security possible. When first reported, security staff at BPP2 went on high alert with images
of the suspect disseminated to all BPP2 security officers. The suspect has since
been apprehended by the Miami Police Department.
Reciente alerta de seguridad
El vandalismo y los robos perpetrados en por lo menos 12 automóviles dentro
de un condominio cercano en Brickell nos recuerda la importancia de tener el
servicio de seguridad más vigilante posible. En cuanto se reportó el incidente,
el personal de seguridad de BPP2 entró en alerta máxima y se le repartieron
imágenes del sospechoso a todos los guardias. Ya la policía de Miami apresó
al sospechoso.
