During her court appearance on Sunday, a judge set Rivera’s bond to $7,500.
According to Miami Police, Angulo Rivera used deceptive tactics when she targeted elderly residents such as offers to buy spare items and offer to clean jewelry, which allowed her to steal valuables from her victims.
An arrest report said during one instance, Rivera went up to a victim in the area of the 5000 block of Northwest Second Street and offered to buy spare frames in exchange for money and access to their home.
After gaining access to the victim’s home, Rivera told the victim she cleans jewelry and was able to convince the victim to trust her with her valuables priced at about $48,500, the report said.
Rivera, the report said, then placed the victim’s jewelry in a container, poured a blue liquid over it, covered it with a napkin and told the victim to wait an hour before getting their items. After the hour was over, the victim’s jewelry was gone and Rivera left the scene.
Rivera would continue this a second time and approached a victim in the area 5800 block of Southwest Second Terrace and told them she’d clean their jewelry, the report said.
Repeating the same scheme, the report said, she was able to steal the victim’s jewelry.
Rivera is estimated to have stolen around $50,000 worth of items.
During their investigation, detectives gathered statements from the victims, analyzed surveillance footage and were able to take River into custody on Friday.
Miami Police Chief Manuel A. Morales released the following statement:
“This suspect preyed on the kindness and vulnerability of our elderly residents with a calculated and heartless scheme. I am proud of the patrol officers and detectives that found her and we encourage anyone who may have encountered her to come forward.”
An investigation is underway in Miami Gardens after police say a toddler was bitten in the face by two pit bulls on Tuesday.
Miami Garden police told CBS News Miami that officers responded to reports of a dog bite involving a child in the 3600 block of Northwest 191st Street just before 7 p.m.
When officers arrived, they said they were told that a 2-year-old was in the backyard of a home when he was bitten in the face by two pit bulls.
The child was rushed to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
No other information was released, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
What I would have done is taken my lumps and rolled with Ewers during the 2026 season. From my understanding, the reality of Willis’ deal is two years x 22.5M. After that, the Dolphins can part with him, no harm, no foul. Hiwever, don’t you think that the Dolphins could have used that money, considering their salary cap situation, in other areas? Yeah, to me, this is a textbook Steve Ross engineered deal where the Dolphins are bidding against themselves and hoping against hope that they’re not as bad as they’re predicted to be.
As for Willis, he reminds me of another ex-Green Bay QB named Matt Flynn. Like Willis, Flynn was the 2nd string QB at GB and shined in a couple of relief appearances for Aaron Rodgers during the 2011 season. He is best remembered in Green Bay for his record-setting 480-yard, 6-touchdown game in 2011 versus the Lions. That set him up for a big contract with Seattle, but he never really did anything there due to the emergence of Russell Wilson.
Former CBS News Miami anchor and longtime South Florida resident Eliott Rodriguez announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 27th Congressional District on Tuesday morning.
He will now embark on a campaign that’s centered on lowering the high cost of living, restoring accountability in Washington, D.C., and bringing people together to deliver results for families in Miami-Dade, his campaign said in the announcement.
“I didn’t plan to run for Congress,” Rodriguez said in his announcement. “But I cannot stay silent. For 48 years, you trusted me to tell the truth and listen to your stories. Today, like so many families, I am concerned that Washington is not delivering for South Florida. My parents taught me that citizenship is not just a right – it is a responsibility. And now, I am answering that call.”
Why is Eliott Rodriguez running for Congress?
In his announcement, Rodriguez explained why he decided to run for Congress. He said the decision was deeply personal.
In recent months, he said he’s spoken with families, seniors, small business owners and young people who are struggling to afford to stay in a community they love.
“South Florida has now become one of the least affordable housing markets in the United States, with families here spending more of their income on rent and mortgages than almost anywhere in the country,” Rodriguez said in his announcement.
According to the campaign, Florida’s 27th Congressional District is widely viewed as one of the most competitive battlegrounds in the country.
In the race for Congress, Rodriguez will challenge incumbent María Elvira Salazar.
