Where do you find suspects in a .7 million jewelry heist? A hotel in Miami Beach, police say

Two people suspected of involvement in an armed robbery of $1.7 million in gold and jewelry in Nashville were found about 900 miles away at a beachside hotel, police say.

Miami Beach and Metro Nashville police say Orlando Valdes Hernandez, 34, and Milleni Garcia, 38, were arrested Sunday at the Grand Beach Hotel, 4835 Collins Ave., with jewelry, cash and a blonde wig. Nashville police say the dark-haired Garcia wore the wig during Wednesday’s robbery of Dubai Jewelry.

The duo moved from Miami Beach housing to Miami-Dade Corrections housing at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center while awaiting extradition.

Metro Nashville posted a photo of a third suspect in the robbery on X.
