Sam Lamboy and Clara Lamboy v. Metro-Dade Police Department

Appellants, Sam Lamboy and Clara Lamboy, appeal a final order forfeiting $82,050.00 in United States currency. We reverse. While investigating burglaries of mini-warehouses, appellee, Metro-Dade Police Department, discovered forty-five kilos of cocaine, and drug paraphernalia, in a warehouse rented by appellant Sam Lamboy. Mr. Lamboy denied knowledge of the items in his warehouse. He provided appellee with the name of another person who had access to the premises. However, it is unclear from the record whether appellee investigated that person.
