Since October, 1985, the Miami Division had been
attempting to identify, locate and apprehend two unknown subjects
responsible for a series of five bank and armored car robberies.
During two of these robberies, the unknown subjects opened fire
and wounded armored car personnel. The last in this series of
robberies occurred on March 19, 1986, in Southwest Miami,
Florida. All of the robberies had taken place in the same
geographical area of Southwest Miami. Agents of the C-1 Squad
{reactive squad) of the Miami Division had conducted
surveillances on two separate occasions in this area in an
attempt to locate and apprehend these robbers.
