An episode that included a hostage negotiation team ended with two people in custody, Miami Beach police said Sunday.

Police say the incident happened at 4395 Pine Tree Dr., which Miami-Dade County property records say is a seven-bedroom, eight-full bathroom, three-half bathroom home that sold for $19,250,000 in July 2018.

At 10:39 p.m. Saturday, police say, a 911 call summoned officers to the home for a car robbery and possible home invasion. Though people in the house got out to safety, a standoff followed, with someone barricaded in a car on the property.

Police say they took that person into custody after 2 a.m. Sunday and took another person into custody later.

Whether one or both people have been arrested and on what charges they’ve been arrested hasn’t been released.

  • Record litters revive bear population of the Pyrenees - to the dismay of farmers

    A record number of bears were born in the Pyrenees mountains last year, pushing the population back from the edge of extinction - and angering farmers. The bear population in the mountains separating France and Spain grew to 64 in 2020, including 16 cubs, according to animal rights activists. "It's a record - never before have nine litters been detected in the Pyrenees since we started studying the bear population," the Pays de l'Ours and Adet et Ferus associations said on Thursday. Farmers have made no effort to hide their dismay at the rewilding of bears as they also face a growing threat of wolves and reintroduced lynx. Sheep have jumped off cliffs and fallen to their deaths to escape the bears, and hundreds have been killed, they claim. Farmers are joining in fierce protests and complain about government compensation for their ransacked livestock.

  • Palace intrigue harms Jordan's stable image

On Saturday, Jordan's military told King Abdullah's half brother Prince Hamza bin Hussein to halt actions targeting "security and stability" in the key U.S. ally. In unusually tough language recorded on a video passed by his lawyer to the BBC, Prince Hamza, 41, said he had been placed under house arrest and criticised Jordan's leaders as a corrupt few who have placed their interests above those of the public.

  • SNL's Britney Spears delivers verdict on Matt Gaetz controversy

    For its latest cold open, Saturday Night Live brought back the fictional apology show, Oops, You Did it Again, hosted by Chloe Fineman's Britney Spears. This time the fictional Spears' guests included Lil Nas X (portrayed Chris Redd), who caused a controversy for designing so-called "Satan Shoes"; Pepé le Pew (Kate McKinnon), the Looney Tunes, who was recently cut out of Space Jam: A New Legacy over concerns the cartoon represents misogyny; and Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz (Pete Davidson), who is being investigated by the Justice Department for payments he and another Florida politician made to women allegedly recruited online for sex, and for the possibility that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. All three guests were given an opportunity to defend themselves before Fineman's Spears delivered a final verdict. She determined that Redd's Lil Nas X was "innocent," while McKinnon's le Pew was "not that innocent," a ruling willingly accepted by the skunk, who was seeking to turn over a new leaf. When Fineman's Spears got to Davidson's Gaetz, she noted that she was not legally allowed to call him innocent or guilty, and instead encouraged "everyone to judge him by his face," prompting the fictional Gaetz to utter an "uh oh."

  • Jordan prince says he's confined, lashes out at authorities

    The half-brother of Jordan's King Abdullah II said Saturday he has been placed under house arrest and accused the country's “ruling system” of incompetence and corruption, exposing a rare rift within the ruling monarchy of a close Western ally. Prince Hamzah's videotaped statement came after the country's official news agency reported that two former senior officials and other suspects had been arrested for “security reasons," even as authorities denied that Hamzah had been detained or placed under house arrest. In a video leaked to the British Broadcasting Corp., Hamzah — a former crown prince stripped of his title in 2004 — said he was visited early Saturday by the country's military chief and told he was not allowed to go out, communicate with people or meet with them.

  • The Balkans deploys bees and drones in new efforts to ramp up mine clearing

    Drones working alongside honey bees could be deployed to clear landmines and unexploded bombs in the Balkans. Bees are known to be able to detect landmines after scientists discovered that they could sniff out explosives. But sending people into mine packed areas to track the bees' movements is understandably risky. Researchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are now flying drones to film the bees, uploading the footage to a computer and using machine learning to plot their movements. It holds the possibility of clearing landmines faster, more securely and effectively - offering hope to the 60 million people who live in fear. Hundreds of thousands of mines planted during the Balkans war remain unexploded, while least 15 people are killed or maimed by landmines everyday, according to the Mines Advisory Group.
