As you say LT is a very small place in reality and the main roads are busy all night and well lit.
What perhaps is more a concern if there is a spate of such incidents, would be along the beach front roads which are poorly lit!

Young Local Robbers
I can confirm that two Dominicans (both 21) did it.
They live in LT (barrios 'Come Pan' and 'Monte Adentro').
They robbed the victim of her handbag containing a cellphone Samsung Galaxy S4 and 3,000 RD$ in cash.
The victim obviously chased the robbers on her scooter and may have sustained her head injury by crashing into a wall*.

ZOOM, in a "semi-related"note.
I was an adviser to the Vietnamese navy.
They started cutting the screens to our hut, and stealing tHe items we stored on the window sill. :bandit::bandit::bandit:
After much complaining, to no avail, we put a small amount of "C-4" EXPLOSIVE IN AN OLD RADIO, wired it to blow if the radio was pulled out the window.
When we heard it blow, we looked for the guy with one hand!!!!!!! :hurt::hurt::hurt::hurt:
THAT, only worked "One Time"!!!!!!
BUT THEN, it only had to work ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One thing is sure, most of the French Jailbirds from South of France are in LT. I met one few years ago , I asked him if he'd never consider going back to france , he said "JAMAIS DE LA VIE !!!!" or "HELL NO !!!", and looking at me like I was insane lol.
Sad for this lady, LT used to be a safe.
La Grande Nation in LT
You may be right.
Somebody once pointed to a table near us where 4 Frenchmen* sat and commented "what you see over there is about fifty years of jailtime...".
But again, in the crime we are discussing in this thread 'La Grande Nation' was not involved...

Yep for sure this type of individuals would not waste their time and cover-up with such a stupid robbery. It was all signed up (local : Haitian or Dominican)
Aka "Loquiman" and "Lindo"
Yes, as said, the police detained two suspects and they are (very) Dominican...

Often Armed
I agree, many do and shoot indiscriminately once they encounter resistance or are followed.
It was certainly foolish to pursue the attackers and I wonder whether the victim is a resident (and thus should have known better) or a tourist...

But it happened so quickly that I doubt she would have paused to put one on.
