Surveillance video captures suspect stealing Rolls-Royce from luxury Miami condo
New surveillance video captured the moment when a Black Badge Rolls-Royce was stolen from a Miami condo building.
A suspect, James Brown, was charged with two counts of grand theft and resisting and officer.
According to Miami Police, the theft of the $400,000 Black Badge Rolls-Royce happened Sunday morning at the luxury Paraiso Bayviews condominiums in Edgewater.
The surveillance video shows Brown approaching the $400,000 caller that was left running and unlocked outside the condo building.
Valet workers at the condo were seen trying to stop Brown from taking off and a worker held onto the car at one point as Brown sped off.
Authorities would later find the Rolls-Royce damaged at a gas station.
“The chassis, the suspension, windows are cracked, vandalized inside,” said Jonathan Sanchez, the car’s owner. “It’s just sad to see that something so careless could’ve just been prevented by doing simple procedures.”
NBC6 spoke with Sanchez.
He said he was heading to an urgent care center when he moved the car from his parking spot to the valet area.
Police said Sanchez told the valet to watch his car while he ran upstairs to get his wallet. He left the vehicle running and unlocked but took the key with him.
As Sanchez ran upstairs, he said his phone started ringing. It was the valet, saying someone had stolen his car.
“I’m like, how does this happen? I gave you the car. You just let him get in the car and roll off?” Sanchez said. “I’m furious, but what comes to mind first is just, do better.”
NBC6 has requested comment from Paraiso Bayviews about the theft.
The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.
While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.
Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.
Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.
The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.
In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.
On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.
Here’s a closer look at the market:
Miami Beach and the barrier islands
Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.
Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.
Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.
Coastal mainland
Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.
The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.
The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
