one more home invasion style robbery

a friend of mine (white, 30ish, American) was robbed at his house on friday night in sosua. 2 dominicans with at least one gun. took lots of big ticket electronic items and his jeep. gun to his head twice. tied up with rope... very scary. took him to a secluded area and let him go 'becuase he didn't cause trouble'.

"secure" neighborhood...

he reported to the local police and the US consulate. doesn't want his name out in the public though.

stay vigilant...

Hmmm... rewards for good behaviour. Sounds like DR police mentality...
