Guns and ammunition discovered after traffic stop in Miami Shores; 2 Arrested – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports

MIAMI SHORES, FLA. (WSVN) – A troubling collection of guns and ammunition was found in an SUV during a traffic stop in Miami Shores last week that left two men in custody.

The incident occurred after a BOLO alert was issued about a stolen tag on Nov. 6 during the evening rush hour.

Miami Shores police spotted the vehicle with the stolen tag near 102nd Street and Miami Ave.

Officers stopped the vehicle for a traffic stop.

“Get out of the car. Rear tire, hands on the roof,” an officer said.

“103 in North Miami,” a dispatcher said on the Broadcastify police scanner.

“Hey! Gun in the car,” another officer said.

Body camera footage captured the moments police detained two men, Dreco Caley and Timothy Lewis, and launched a search. Officers found four weapons, including a rifle, magazines and two Florida license plates hidden inside the SUV.

Officers took photos of their find for evidence.

“And a photo op,” said an officer.

“Nice,” said one officer.

“We have another weapon,” another officer said.

“Oh yeah? Sensational,” said one officer.

Motorists in the area drove by in disbelief as officers removed weapons and ammunition from the vehicle.

Caley and Lewis face charges ranging from open carry violations, gun possession and possession of marijuana.
