At approximately 12:35 p.m., Pembroke Pines police received reports of a robbery near SW 14th Court, where a FedEx driver was targeted by two individuals while delivering a package. According to police accounts, the driver was confronted by a woman who falsely identified herself as the homeowner and intended recipient of the delivery.
As the driver requested identification to verify the woman’s claim, the situation escalated. A man appeared on the scene, and a physical altercation ensued. The man punched the package out of the FedEx driver’s hands, allowing the woman to retrieve it. Both suspects then fled the scene with the stolen package.
