In June, surveillance video shows a thief stuffing bottles of wine down his pants at the Milam market at 3050 SW 37th Ave., near Coral Gables. By the end of July, he had become known as the infamous “Fine Wine Bandit”.
More recently, the thief struck again on Monday and Tuesday at the popular Milam location at 11701 South Dixie Highway, in Pinecrest.
