MIAMI --
The area around the U-Haul has been cordoned off.
Miami Police have evacuated the Graham Building and the Metro Justice building in Miami after witnesses reported seeing an unidentified person run away from a U-Haul truck.
Police have cordoned off the area around the truck. The bomb squad has responded and sent a robot to investigate the truck. It peered in the window with a camera to feed back video to police.
Motorists may want to avoid the area, which is around 1350 NW 12 Ave.
Local 10 News has a crew at the scene and Sky 10 over it.

Probably some idiot trying to break into the vehicle and then ran away when he was seen.
To: Ellesu

No sarcasm intended at all. This is one of the things I love about FR--Just now on Fox News, but FR had it FIRST!
Driver used a fake ID to get the U-haul, had an altercation with another driver at the scene, parked it badly...
Good post.

I recall something similar happening in Arizona several months back... turned out the truck was full of illegal aliens.

REALLY...as soon as Fox News broke the report I shot for the puter to see who on FR was close to what was happening.
News Media is pretty much obsolete at this point...lol.
