In recent weeks, over a dozen reports of stolen strollers have been filed with the Miami Beach Police Department.

So far, no suspects have been identified. “We’re taking this very seriously,” said Miami Beach Police Spokesperson Officer Ernesto Rodríguez. “Strollers are essential equipment for parents, and we want to do everything we can to recover the ones that have been stolen.” Residents are being urged to take precautions to prevent stroller theft. This includes: * Never leave a stroller unattended, even for a short period of time. * If you must leave it alone, lock it to a fixed object with a cable lock. * Engrave your stroller with your name and contact information. * Report any suspicious activity to the police immediately. The stroller thefts have raised concerns about the safety of children in the city. Many parents now hesitate to bring their children to public places without taking extra precautions. “It’s sad that we have to be so cautious,” said Jennifer Smith, a mother of two. “But until the thefts are solved, I’m going to be keeping my kids close at all times.” Police are asking for the public’s help in solving the stroller thefts.
