City of Miami detectives are looking for two men wanted in a home burglary last month in which they walked out with the victim’s safe.

The incident happened Jan. 23 at a house at the 5100 block of Northwest Seccond Terrace, Miami police said in a statement released Friday morning.

The resident said he returned around 3 p.m. that day to a ransacked home. His brother had left the house around 10:30 a.m. and locked the door, police say.

The resident, whom police did not name, told detectives that his security camera footage showed two men arriving at the house at 11:30 a.m. At first, they knocked on the door and waited. Then they are seen removing the screen on the window, opening it, and then reaching in to unlock the door, detectives said in the statement.

A man who city of Miami police say burglarized a home on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023, is seen wearing a T-shirt that reads ‘Just Bring It.’

Detectives say one of the men is between 30 and 35 years old. Is about 5-foot, 10-inches tall and weighs around 220 pounds. He was wearing a T-shirt that read “Just Bring It” during the burglary.
