My mother-in-law's neighborhood in Santo Domingo has been plagued with robberies/break-ins for some time now. It's called Ensanche La Paz, which is quite the misnomer. Yesterday [Sunday] morning the thief struck again, entering a home at 5 a.m. This time he wasn't so lucky, he was seen and chased down the street by a bunch of people who were fed up with the robberies. They carried bats and even machetes as they chased him down, and caught him near my suegra's house, beating him until the police showed up. At the police station he tried to escape, and they shot him dead. I don't know if anything showed up in the papers.
I've been reading here on DR1 about all the horror stories of break-ins, which seemed to target non-Dominicans. Apparently they also target their own. This guy was Dominican and a lot of people knew him in the neighborhood. I guess you truly never know - "trust no one" is the best motto, it seems.
