New Developments In $478K Safe Heist at the Miami Beach Home of Sony Music Artist Prince Malik

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Aug. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Investigators said several witnesses have identified a man captured on surveillance video during a brazen safe burglary at the Miami Beach home of Sony Music recording artist Prince Malik. Since the break in at the condo on May 9, the entertainer has pleaded for the public’s help in the rigorous search for the safe and its contents, which are valued at more than $478,000.

Shortly after the local media outlets aired video showing the thief entering and exiting the building, investigators said several people identified the man in the images as Kenneth Emanuel Welcome, AKA Kenny Brooks Jr., AKA Akkillez. Welcome has a lengthy arrest record that includes charges of burglary, violent crimes and prostitution.

“An interesting item was uncovered during the course of our investigation,” said David Bolton of Bolton Investigations. “We have determined that Welcome somehow qualified for and was issued a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). TWIC is a security measure that ensures individuals who pose a threat do not gain unescorted access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime and aviation transportation systems.”

Prince Malik has filed a lawsuit against Welcome in Miami Dade County Circuit Court that seeks damages in excess of $478,000.00.

“We are once again making an appeal to the public to share any details that they may have in this case,” said Prince Malik.

Prince Malik is offering a $50,000.00 reward for the arrest of the individual(s) involved and the return of his property, or a $25,000.00 “no questions asked” reward for information that leads to the arrest of the individual(s) involved. He has created a confidential tip line that should be used when submitting information: 305-562-0012.
