a man travelling on a bus from SD to santiago was attacked on metro bus. he carried half a million pesos, allegedly in order to pay his employees. two attackers were also travelling on the same bus and upon approaching villa altragracia they took out guns, stopped the bus, took the money and escaped in a car that was awaiting them.
they told other passengers that it was not about them but it was about settling drug matters.

the police has apparently identified five men, including the one who was robbed and they are looking to arrest them.

exactly my thought. are drug dealers cutting on expenditure? are they fiscally responsible individuals?

in our pharmacy we used to sell azucar de leche, a very fine white powder resembling cocaine. legit use is to add this to coconut water which is supposed to be good for kidneys. not so legit use is to cut coke with it. you could see who was buying for what, sometimes the clients would be young, sweaty, with shaking hands, thin. anyways, once we had such individual buy 100 bags or so (they are very small, maybe a spoonful). and he asked for a factura. we laughed at this all day, did he have to present it to a narco boss or what? what's next, we joked, he will ask for a factura con valor fiscal and drug dealers will have RNC number?

He's aware of the Paris climate change conference and is reducing his carbon footprint.

yes indeed. drug dealers are environmentally conscious. and the product is certified organic and naturally grown using local labour.

I have never seen a Metro Bus pulled to the side of the road to be searched by the police. Can?t say the same for the
luxury cars and jeepetas.

Plus if his private car was stopped in a lonely spot he might be subjected to violence or even killed. Much less likely (though not impossible), with a busload of passengers.
