I left out certain details.
They might have scared people....

I deem the results to be sufficient report and the good news is that my friend was not harmed (except some bruises from his ties).

John,
Is it meant to scare people? If one has interests in the immediate area, it should be of concern until the guys are caught & put away.

M'frog communicated
1) who - friend/victim reported to him
2) what - armed robbery by 3 men with weapons waiting outside house
3) when - recently at 10:30pm at night
4) where - Coson
5) why - not mentioned, but one could only speculate

That's enough info for those with interests or potential interests in the area to up their vigilance a little & they can pm M'frog should they want to seek additional info that he may share.

You were against anyone but the victim reporting a crime in the La Mulata thread...
Again, as this type of information often doesn't get reported well (if at all) by the media, and victims aren't always DR1 members - the DR1 grapevine & second hand reporting is an aid when done responsibly.

My friend's house is in Las Terrenas (not far from the petrol station).
The other two incidents are said to have taken place in Cosón, yes.

Likewise. It was factual reporting, max info, min frills, no drama. And plenty to be aware of if one can see it i.e. these ladrones could not break in because of the window proofing so they waited, fully armed, for owner to return. Therefore they were confident enough (of themselves, likelihood of being caught or not, likelihood or not of being detained by judicial system etc etc) to do so. It's all there for the observant.

Worrying this. That area had a bad time & then it seemed to die down. Now it looks like it's picking up again. I haven't seen anything in the papers btw - no big surprise.
