There has been a recent spate of robberies or attempted robberies. Three in the last week!
A popular bar near Casa Marina Sosua, aranoid:had money, booze and cigarettes stolen after iron bars to the stock room were partially cut one night ready for the actual robbery the following night at about 3 am. The owner recovered cigarettes; booze and empty cash box from a nearby empty lot the following day. This was the second time this bar has been robbed in the same manner in the last few months.
A second robbery took place also in El Batey, when bars were prised off a window in broad daylight about 3 pm a few days ago. The thieves got jewellery of great sentimental value and other items as well.
The third to place earlier in the week with an attempted robbery in Perla Marina when 4mm glass was smashed in broad daylight during the heavy thunderstorm. The dogs in the house frightened the thieves off with no losses. The damage to the door was considerable.
This is written with personal knowledge of the victims, to alert others to this spate of robberies mostly during daylight and sometimes the robbers prepare the scene a night or two before.
Three incidents in one week suggest that there is a sudden increase in this type of crime and all appear to be by separate parties that had knowledge of the movements of the owners and took advantage of the situation to help them selves ? so be warned.
