Bandit steals pricey bottle of wine
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A wine store owner has released surveillance footage in hopes of finding the bandit who stole an irreplaceable bottle of wine.
Surveillance video shows a crook stealing a bottle of wine valued for over $650 at W Wine Boutique Tuesday night. The owner said this is a painful loss because the bottle of wine is so rare it cannot be replaced. "The thing I really hope for is that he did not open it and drink it," Eddy Le Garrec said.
Surveillance video shows the crook taking one bottle of wine from the cellar and replacing the pricey wine, then walking out.
Because of the high value of the wine, the bandit faces felony charges. If convicted he could face up to five years behind bars.
If you have any information on this crime, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
