Authorities have arrested 27-year-old Pedro Oscar Vazquez Quirindongo in connection with an armed robbery and carjacking that took place outside Republic Food and Lounge in Allapattah last month. Surveillance footage helped police identify him as the suspect who, armed with a semi-automatic handgun, forced a woman to give up her gold chain and car keys at around 5 a.m. on July 27.
After the incident, the stolen vehicle was recovered nearby using GPS tracking.
