ORLANDO, FLORIDA: A Florida man, who allegedly stole a container full of beef worth $200,000, was arrested by Miami-Dade police on Tuesday, September 12, after a chase that involved a frequency jammer and a crash with a police truck.

When he noticed the officers, he tried to escape by driving away, Local 10 reported.
