Two men were arrested Thursday for allegedly posing as rideshare drivers to commit robberies in Miami Beach, according to a police press release.
Fevry Gentillon, 43, and Kebert Jean, 56, are accused of multiple robberies “targeting inebriated” and “unsuspecting” individuals within Miami Beach’s Entertainment District.
Authorities started investigating after receiving several reports about similar crimes, but an exact number or accounts were not immediately available.

“Through meticulous analysis and proactive investigatory methods employed by MBPD’s Robbery Unit, detectives successfully identified and apprehended the suspects responsible for this predatory behavior,” police said.
Anyone with information or who may have been targeted by the men is asked to contact the Miami Beach Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division at 305-673-7945.
