I remember when the Vimenca/ Western Union office here in Santiago on Calle Independencia
back in (i think) 2018. Three people were involved and were immediately caught by the P.N.
One of them was a security guard who somehow managed to shoot himself in the back of the
head twice while hand cuffed in the back of a police van.🤫
The money they stole was never recovered.
I believe one of the other assailants was also shot dead while they tried to apprehend him. Third
one received a twenty year prison sentence,

Oh the danger and scandal

One of these 3 must have had local knowledge because they would need to know the best route to get away. My guess is they went East and turned left at CMC and went into the neighborhoods.
And likely split up because 3 adult men on a Chinese 150 would draw attention once the crime was reported and 3 on one bike also slows them down.
My guess is they already have identified one or more of them from video and their pipedreams of spending that money will soon become their pesadillas.

Great theory Sherlock! The only problem with that theory, is the fact that it was the location inside Ceducomp that was robbed. Right in the plaza next to CMC. And they were observed heading for Cabarete on highway 5 from there.

I'm familiar with the location. And CMC is the first turn heading towards Cabarete.
How far were they observed heading 'towards Caberete' because I can assure you they turned into one of the side streets and did not stay on the highway.
Maybe up into La Mulata, or into Ocean Village?
No way they continued on the highway

The news states that they dumped their moto in La Union and jumped into a white car. They have three suspects on video and are looking for them. They stole one million pesos and USD$37k.

At least they have the funds to bribe the fiscal and get off scot-free

They're an easy target. And there's a good amount of Gov cameras in the area.

It's a good payday.

They'll be caught unless maybe they're from outside the country. A couple of Colombians were arrested for robbery recently... i'm just saying.
