Yeison Jose Bolivar, 25, was arrested Thursday after police said he and two other suspects robbed a man at gunpoint for his $50,000 Patek Philippe watch back in April on Biscayne Boulevard.

Miami Police also discovered Bolivar was allegedly involved in robberies in Port St. Lucie, New York, New Jersey and California.

Detectives recovered another Patek Phillipe watch worth approximately $1 million that was stolen from Beverly Hills as well as a rifle stolen from Port St. Lucie.

Bolivar remains booked in Miami-Dade jail on charges of armed robbery with a firearm. He is also wanted on a warrant out of New Jersey.

The two men who allegedly helped Bolivar in the April robbery – Kerwin Campos and Yiefer Capote Diaz – were also arrested on Thursday.
