Miami-Dade Police arrested a suspected meat thief on Tuesday after tracking down a man who authorities believe stole both $200,000 worth of beef and the chassis and container used to ship it in Orange County, Florida.
According to reports, police received a call about the stolen container and then used GPS to track down the container to a facility in the county.
When they arrived, law enforcement showed up to beef being unloaded into another 52-foot trailer. At the alleged crime scene, news outlet MEAWW reports that law enforcement noticed Lazaro Izquierdo Crespo, a 39-year-old Cuban national from Hialeah, getting into a pickup truck and attempting to flee after seeing the officers.
After fleeing the scene, officers say that Izquierdo used a frequency jammer, complicating communication between law enforcement until he lost control of his truck.
