Rumor has it - it was a bunch of pod people who were ripped off there.

Botin de mas de 100 mil dolares se llevan de una joyeria en Cozumel - Grupo SIPSE, sipse.com

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......

12 people, $100K... It hardly seems worth it.

12 people, $100K... It hardly seems worth it.

That's not much of a haul per person, especially after they discount the goods for the secondary market.

The number of criminals has been changed to 8, with 6 in custody. see Latin American Herald Tribune - Mexican Police Arrest 6 in Island Jewelry Heist

Sounds like most of the loot is still missing; the store wouldn't exaggerate losses for personal gain would they? Holding the cruise boats in harbor all night must have caused problems.

Looks like 13 people in this picture......

FYI ....a few articles down confirms the approval to build the 4th cruise pier up north of town.

13 in custody, but the "Chicken" man, the mastermind got away with the loot!

Misprint......50000-80000

According to detainees, they were all recruited by "Rattles" in their places of origin to which they were promised a share of around 80 000 pesos. It was also recommended to bring their partner or a close relative, it seems to tourists from the Midwest. Bandits had also "expenses paid" transport.

Now it's 13 of the 15 people arrested, 2 leaders got away with the goodies.

They may start arming their cops now, huh? I hate that. I'd rather cut back on temptation than expose the area to gun battles.
