Video showed the man wearing a white box over his head as he attempted to smash open a glass cabinet within which the phones were displayed.
After an initial unsuccessful attempt he was able to break open the top of the cabinet and began sweeping phones into a bag.
Due to the position of the surveillance camera, it was not possible to make out his face until for a moment he lifted up the box to get a better look at the phones he was taking.
Berganza said he shared images from the theft with people working in the shopping plaza where the store is located and asked for people to look out for the man.
When he was located drinking with friends at the local liquor store, Miami Gardens police officers were notified and the man was arrested.
The identity of the thief was not released by cops.
