[CristoRey]

They arrest a police corporal and three other men accused of beating and assaulting two tourists in Sosúa.​

A corporal of the National Police was arrested along with three other men after allegedly having beaten and assaulted two tourists in the municipality of Sosúa, for which they will be brought to justice, according to the authorities this Saturday.

This is Corporal Elvis Francisco Ramos Silverio, 28, who is attached to the Preventive Police (S6) in Santiago de Los Caballeros, as well as Alejandro Quiroz Torres, 37, Quilvio Pérez Moreta, 31, and Genaro Padilla Cabrera, 42. .

According to the report, the detainees intercepted the US citizens Blyden Chamel and Walker Raymond on Pedro Clisante street in the Batey sector, in Sosúa, hitting the first and pointing at the second to strip them of a guilloche and a gold chain respectively.

The other two arrested

After committing the criminal act, the four defendants fled aboard the Kía car, Plate A627994, but were captured by a police patrol after a several-kilometer chase on the main Sosúa-Montellano highway.

Weapons and clothing that occupied the arrested

While the physically assaulted tourists were cured and sent to the Gregorio Luperón General Hospital in Villa Montellano and then returned to the New Garden hotel in Sosúa where they are temporarily staying.


An unofficial source confirmed to this editor that the arrested were seized the precious clothes that they took from the tourists, as well as two automatic pistols with three chargers and four mobile phones (cell phones).

This in normal PN behavior in and around the barrios here in Santiago.
Only reason it made the press is because they did it to some tourist in Sosua
and got caught.
Certainly they must have done something to deserve being beatin and
robbed, eh Carlos?

Pretty amazing how fast they were caught. What time of day did this happen?

Now it's been picked up by the national press in English. Police reform? Poor Luis has no idea what he's up against.

The title of the thread is a little misleading, don't you think?

My question is, in a 3rd world country known of it's problems, why would you want to walk on the street in an area that does not perhaps have the best reputation with any jewelry at all... I'm not saying that in normal circumstances people are not allowed to walk freely on the street, but it's just may not work like that here...

love a 1911, Kimber is my fav. The handgun is too confusing for most off the untrained population here. There would be more missing toes, fingers and worse.

one of the articles said they even robbed them of their cloths, how humiliating to be left standing on Pedro C with only your leopard skin briefs

you know the more I think about it, how does one get robbed at gun point and hit on the head on the busiest business street in Sosua. It is possible but rare. Dollars to doughnuts there was some type of "dispute".

Dispute? Like "I want your stuff." vs "No you don't!" Folowed by Bamm, bamm, bamm. "Thank you so much ..."

The articles say the robbery took place and the suspects were caught in "la madrugada". La madrugada generally refers to any time after midnight and before sunrise.

No! Like. "These are fake blue pills"," I want some real stuff not baking soda" , "I want real weed not rosemary" and "I did pay her"

Good they were caught
But if you are wearing gaudy chains and fancy watches it's like a billboard saying "I'm a dumb shit please relieve me of my flashy overpriced trinkets".
