Diamond International got knocked off

[cvchief]

5-8 robbed Diamond International tonight at 2 and Melgar. May have got at least one at Mega. App. couple employees may have been hit in the head. Locking the island down. Stopped the ferry. Cops got the dragnet working.

Best we can get outta a Spanish radio report online.

No, but I keep my ear to the ground. They dumped the robbery van a block from our place. Saw pics of the guard that got pistol whipped walking around so he looks ok with the white turban on.

Cops say they got three in custody. Maybe one grabbed at Mega?

Are the tanzanites safe so the cruise ship people have something to buy?

Armed robbery on an island - dumb. Even if they had a speed boat hidden and made it to the peninsula, not that many roads to block.

Says 8-12 people armed with an ak-47, pistols, and sledge hammers got away with over $100,000 in jewels and watches.
Looks like they got 4 of them already......

Seriously brazen. 8 to 12 peeps with AK47's is not small time!

Well the report is just one AK... Those poor, unarmed cops.... :depressed:

Somewhere I read there was a similar job in Merida a little while back.
