Second Bank Robbery at Washington Mutual Bank
Fourth Bank Robbery on 36 Street This Year
10-16-2007
Seems like it's getting trendy to steal money from banks on Northwest 36 street.
Shortly after opening the Washington Mutual Bank on Tuesday, October 16th, at about 9am, a gunman entered and demanded more than $50,000 in cash. The bank tellers obliged and handed him a bag with an undiclosed amount of cash. The tellers also secretly triggered the silent alarm alerting the Miami Springs Police Department to the robbery in progress.
By the time the bank robber made it outside of the bank, he was surrounded by Miami Springs' finest. The bank robber immediately retreated back into the bank yelling and screaming. These became the most tense moments of the robbery.
Fortunately, the gunman surrendered and was taken into custody. No one was hurt.
The alledged gunman was identified as Luis Martinez. The gun he alledgedly used during the incident turned out to be a BB gun that looked like a pistol.
Police don't believe this robber was involved in last week's Brinks heist. (See story below.)

Another Miami Springs Bank Robbery...This Time Even Bolder
10-11-2007
A Brinks truck was held up at the Eastern Financial Credit Union located at 700 South Royal Poinciana Boulevard in Miami Springs on Thursday, October 11th. Using AK-47 style assault rifles, the three suspects described as black males in their 30s, stole an undisclosed amount of cash.
This is now the third robbery this year along the NW 36 street corridor. Earlier in the year, there was an incident that occurred on the Union Planters Bank in Virginia Gardens. In August, an elderly man robbed the Washington Mutual Bank just blocks away from the Eastern Financial Credit Union Brinks heist.
Let's get these scum bags off our streets. If you have any information that could help police, call the Miami Springs Police Investigators at 305.887.1444.

"A Hero for Heroes" Project
10-1-2007
In commemoration of the events of September 11, 2001, a group of children from Miami Springs Elementary Community School paid tribute to our local police and  firefighter heroes at Council Chambers on Tuesday, September 11th. The students of Mrs. Serrano and Mrs. Mejia’s classes, accompanied by several parents and new principal, Sally Hutchings, honored them with a brief ceremony, including the reading of a poem about heroes, a rendition of “God Bless America”, letters of support, and platters of sub sandwiches, a.k.a. “heroes”. Community business, Milam’s Market, made a generous donation towards the cost of the lunch. The police officers expressed their appreciation and returned the kind gesture by presenting each student with an official Miami Springs Police Department. patch. The students were more than thrilled to receive such a unique gift – something once worn by a true hero. Unfortunately, the fire department was on call during the ceremony, but Officer Sheryl Mulet, of the Community Policing Office, assured the students she would share the morning’s events and sandwiches with the firefighters.
