MIAMI — Dade County police were on the lookout Tuesday for a pair of thieves who held six adults and 70 preschoolers at gunpoint and then robbed their day-care center.
Two men wearing ski masks walked into Skipper Chuck’s Child Care Center in Carol City, a neighborhood north of Miami, on Monday morning.
