MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Miami police robbery detectives are looking for a man they say broke into a medical clinic and ransacked it before stealing about $100.
Surveillance cameras show the suspect breaking into the Florida Medical Center Group, located in the 1500 block of Northwest 36 Street at approximately 5:30 p.m. on June 25th.
Once inside the clinic, the suspect went room to room. The owner said he stole about $100 from a cash register.
Pharmacy Manager Leidy Rojas told CBS4's Peter D'Oench "I feel bad about what happened. He was not supposed to do that. He caused a lot of damage and distraction. This was really bad because it made us feel insecure. He's really dangerous because he had something in his pocket he used to get inside. I would really like to see him in court and we would feel much safer. That would mean a lot to me."
Officer Kenia Fallat, a spokeswoman for Miami Police, said "This subject took his time and went through the clinic and finally took money from the cash register. We find an alarming that someone would get in a medical facility like this and be so close to medical records and controlled substances. He may have been looking for a quick fix and ended up with other things."
"One thing I can disclose is that detectives are looking for him in connection possibly with other cases," said Fallat.
The well-known medical clinic helps hundreds of people every week. The owner said he did not want to go on camera or comment but he said that he too is eager to see this criminal caught.
The suspect is described by police as a slim man, between 25-30 years-old, last seen wearing a light-colored short sleeve t-shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Miami Police Department at (305) 603-6030 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471- TIPS (8477).
