"They didn't want to get into an altercation, they’re looking for a crime of opportunity, and they’re looking for victims who become very complacent and that’s what they found here," Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez said. "They found six individuals who left their cars unlocked, they gained access, they ransacked the vehicles, they left their keys inside and garage door openers inside the cars, so that’s a tell-tale sign of folks who are just comfortable, it’s a gated community."

Police said they're hoping to make arrests soon.
"Many criminal enterprises utilize juveniles to just walk around neighborhoods and shopping centers pulling on car handles to see who leaves their doors open and unfortunately a lot of people in South Florida do," Lopez said.
