2 county employees caught on camera stealing over $50,000 worth of artwork at PortMiami, sheriff's office says
Two PortMiami employees were arrested this week after they were caught on camera stealing over $50,000 of art, the sheriff's office said. On Thursday morning, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said it had arrested and charged 27-year-old Angel Prudhomme and 50-year-old Tangela Park with second-degree grand theft. Arrest documents revealed that Park is also facing a criminal mischief charge. According to MDSO, both Prudhomme and Park were county employees assigned to PortMiami as custodial workers. "As Sheriff of Miami-Dade County, I take individuals using their employment to steal very seriously," said Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rose Cordero-Stutz. "I am committed to ensuring that anyone involved in dishonest actions will be held accountable." A tip received by public corruption investigators led to the arrests Last Friday, Public Corruption Section investigators with MDSO's Internal Affairs Office were notified by port authorities of a possible art theft inside one of the terminals. Detectives then met with port authorities and reviewed surveillance video, which showed two PortMiami workers removing artwork from the terminal, loading it into their vehicles and leaving the port with it. During the investigation, Prudhomme was identified as one of the employees caught on camera, where he was seen removing artwork from the walls inside Terminal G on May 12 and concealing it in a stairwell. According to arrest documents, he was also seen concealing mosaic and marble pieces of art inside trash cans and bags while trying to avoid security cameras. The following day, Prudhomme was seen taking the art and putting it into Park's vehicle. Public Corruption Section detectives then took over the investigation and with the assistance of the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, they obtained warrants for Prudhomme and Park's arrests. According to arrest documents, 12 of the 24 pieces were damaged by the "improper removal and transportation" of the artwork and were left at the terminal. These items were later recovered by the Sea Port General Investigations unit. After receiving consent to a search, the other 12 pieces were found on Wednesday at Prudhomme's home and vehicle, where they were also found to be damaged. According to MDSO, the art collection manager said the artwork was last appraised at around $50,000. After being told their Miranda rights, Prudhomme and Park admitted to removing the artwork before being taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for booking.

Woman drugged men, stole Rolex watches and cash in Miami, Doral and Miami Beach, police say
A woman was arrested on Monday after she allegedly stole expensive jewelry — including Rolex watches — from three men in different incidents across South Florida: first in Doral, then in Miami and later in Miami Beach, according to authorities. Angelina Chenel Esty, a 25-year-old from Pompano Beach, is facing grand theft and burglary charges, according to three arrest reports. March 11: E11even Miami The first incident was reported when a man said he came back to his apartment in Doral around 7:15 a.m. with a woman he met at club E11even Miami. The man told police that after they had drinks he became "very sick" before passing out. The victim told officers that when he woke up the woman was missing — and so was his Rolex. According to police, surveillance video surveillance the Esty leaving the apartment and getting into an Uber. When police tracked down the Uber, Esty was identified as the customer, one arrest report stated. Angelina Chenel Esty Doral Police March 22: Brickell The second incident was reported after a man said he met two women at Blackbird, an upscale lounge and bar in Brickell. According to police, the victim said they partied and drank before he allegedly took an Uber with one of the women to his apartment around 4:45 a.m. The woman, identified in the report as "Ciara," then asked if she could bring her friend "Regina" and the victim said agreed. Regina reportedly arrived around 6 a.m. and the three drank for an hour, according to an arrest form. The man told police he went to bed with one of the women while the other stayed in the living room. According to police, the man was woken up by the two women leaving his apartment. The victim told police his room was destroyed and that items were missing, including a Rolex watch valued at $11,000, $8,000 in cash and designer sunglasses, the report said. Police say shoes and a purse were left behind as well as an ID card that belonged to Angelina Chenel Esty. April 21: The Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel According to police, around 4 a.m., Esty approached the third victim at the the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel lobby after he came back from a night out. Police say the man and Etsy spoke briefly before going up to his hotel room. The victim told police that he accepted a drink from Etsy, removed his Rolex and bracelet, put them into his jacket pocket and said he fell asleep shortly after. When the man woke up around 8 a.m. he realized that Etsy was not in his hotel room and that his $20,000 Rolex and diamond bracelet, worth $10,000, were gone, according to the arrest report. Detectives were able pull up security footage from the hotel and saw Etsy, who was also wanted for other theft incidents. The man was able to identify Etsy through a photograph line-up.
