MIAMI - It was a moment to remember for a 13-year-old boy who came to South Florida from Honduras nearly 2 years ago. Douglas Flores, a 7th grader at Rockway Middle School in Westchester, received a special gift on Tuesday afternoon from the Coral Gables Police Department, a BMX bicycle he had always wanted. The bicycle, which is worth more than $100, was an item that his mother was not able to afford. CBS4 was inside the police department as Sgt. Alex Escobar and victim advocate Raiza Garcia gave Flores the bike, as his happy mother Helen Flores stood next to them.
