At least two families have denounced in recent days that they have been kidnapped to rob them when leaving the Cibao International Airport (AIC) in the early morning hours.
The most recent case was that of a family of five, who were abducted and abandoned on the Licey al Medio highway after taking away their vehicle, two suitcases and wallets, containing dollars and personal documents.
One of the victims said that they were intercepted by several individuals aboard a Nissan car, carrying long weapons and pistols when they were driving through Canabacoa.
The traveler, who had not been in the country for 8 years, was robbed with his American wife and other relatives around 4:00 in the morning of last Thursday.
Several days ago a woman and her two children were also abducted after leaving the airport. These people were left abandoned near a ravine in the community of Gurabo.
The assailants stole all the victims' belongings. The criminals shot two of the vehicle's tires.
Like the family intercepted in Canabacoa, the woman assures that the robbers followed them from the AIC to Santiago, where they were kidnapped to deprive them of money and valuables.
Those affected requested not to identify them for fear of reprisals from the criminals, who kept their personal documents.
Investigate cases
Colonel Antonio Calvo Pérez, spokesman for the National Police in Santiago, assured that they are investigating both complaints.
Since being informed, they have dismantled multiple gangs that are dedicated to docking on the way from the Cibao International Airport to the homes of travelers.
However, aggravated robberies of travelers are recurrent.
