Marketplace safety
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash for in-person purchases and do not get into sellers' cars — the Doral incident involved an armed kidnapping during a Marketplace transaction where the victim brought $4,000 in cash.
A recent armed robbery and kidnapping tied to a Facebook Marketplace transaction in Doral demonstrates elevated risk for in-person high-value exchanges.
Transit accessibility
If you require elevator access at Metrorail stations named in alerts, plan for assistance from station staff and consider alternate routes if elevators are out of service.
Miami-Dade Transit reported elevator outages at multiple stations and scheduled single tracking that may disrupt usual access and transfer times.
