Miami Beach Police Search For Trashy Thieves

MIAMI BEACH, FL — If one man's junk is truly another man's treasure, the people who stole a Big Tex trash trailer should be feeling very rich right about now.

Miami Beach police on the other hand are hoping to take out the garbage. They are asking for the public's help in finding the two men responsible for the trashy heist.

The black rig was discovered missing on July 8 from a gated construction site at 3166 North Bay Road.

Miami Beach police said the gate did not have a lock at the time. The bandits used a white Ford van to cart off the trash trailer.

Ernesto Rodriguez of the Miami Beach Police Department told Patch that while the trash was — well trash — the 2019 black trailer itself has an estimated value of $9,000.

Miami Beach police released surveillance images of the suspected thieves. They are both white males. One is between 35 to 45 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and 190 to 210 pounds.

The other man is 25 to 35 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall and 185 to 195 pounds.
