They also reference a safe, which, upon further investigation, held stolen jewels with a value of $500,000, police told WSVN. Though he has yet to be identified, police believe the third man in the car also took part in the crimes.

Police said they were made aware of the video after receiving a tip. In a short amount of time, the men stole thousands of dollars' worth of cash and goods, first on May 27 and again on June 9, according to detectives.

"These men were involved in burglaries where there was over $500,000 worth of jewelry and valuables stolen from two different houses within two weeks in Pinecrest," Village of Pinecrest Communications Manager Michelle Hammontree told CBS Miami.

Using a search warrant, police found many items were sold to Xodium Jewelry & Watch Repair for $3,900. It was later revealed the actual value of goods was about a half a million dollars.
