A Miami-Dade man was arrested last week after investigators linked him to an alleged armed robbery of his neighbour nearly a month earlier, with building records and surveillance helping identify him, according to deputies.

Jacob Johnson, 60, was arrested on 20 August in connection with the alleged 31 July robbery. The victim and Johnson lived in the same apartment building in the Westgate area of Miami-Dade County, where the victim told deputies that a man entered his vehicle, pointed a gun at his head, and demanded his valuables. The victim estimated that about $113,000 worth of jewellery was taken, according to the police report shared by local media.
