MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) — Three men have been arrested after creating a security scare atop a Miami Beach penthouse.

Mohamed Azab Youssef, 39, Artur Schaback, 28, and Ivan Suhharev, 28, were apprehended by Miami Beach Police Friday, September 17th.

Police said Schaback and Suhharev were witnessed aiming an AR-15 rifle off the penthouse balcony at 1100 Collins Avenue, including Schaback wearing a mask over his face.

One caller told 911 they were pointing the firearm towards the busy street at citizens and tourists walking by.

“I did see a handful of different officers with rifles, pistols, shotguns, the whole nine,” said witness Chris Clayborne. “It was the real deal.”

Imagine arriving to your vacation spot and that’s what you’re greeted with.

“Uber driver drops us off and literally drops us off right on the crime scene. Not sure what’s taking place cops everywhere yellow tape everywhere they’re pushing us away from our hotel we were staying at,” Clayborne said.

D.J. Richardson immediately began to regret his reservation for his vacation rental.

“Really started panicking,” Richardson said. “I was like, I really don’t feel safe here.”

Police said the men snapped photographs as they took turns holding the weapon.

“It sounds like they might have been doing it for the Instagram,”

Exactly. Dead Islamic terrorists are the best ones.

And did they legally have the gun? Someone had to be a US citizen, which should be revoked and send the home after a very long, lifelong sentence.

A possible dry run?

Strange trio of weirdos. From the guy's facebook page it looks like they spend all of their time traveling to luxury destinations around the world with beautiful young women, driving lamborghinis, sailing on yachts, and generally living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. They're also muscle bound 'roid inflated body builders. It doesn't look like stereotypical terrorism, maybe more like drug kingpins? Very strange. https://www.facebook.com/ivan.suhharev

And I'm betting they didn't obtain those guns legally, either.

Weird background story.

[Garth Tater]

"Inside, they found the rifle, which was equipped with a long-distance scope, and 500 rounds of ammunition.

Cocaine and hashish, as well as drug paraphernalia, were also discovered."

Shoot, throw in a stack of $100 bills and a box of Trojans and fellow could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas.

There it is.
Might hare-lip everyone on the creek though.

Ivan seems to be wearing a cross in some of his photos. Noticed some comments from Artur on his FB page. Lots of photos of them with guns in various locations. They seem like run of the mill rich douchebags.
