As incredible as it sounds, three armed men robbed a Supreme Court judge as he and some family members were exercising along Mirador Sur Park in Santo Domingo at around 5:30am yesterday. The thieves stole some earrings from his sister and a cell phone as reported in the press, but nobody was injured. Justice Julio Anibal Suarez was exercising without a bodyguard, according to a report in Listin Diario. Suarez is a member of the Third Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice. The National Police chief has ordered an investigation as to why the detachment assigned to the Mirador Sur area was so slow in reporting the incident. Agents from the Robbery Division are investigating the crime.

The Mirador Sur Park has long been the scene of robberies as well as a favored place for exercising. Since late 2010 an increased police presence reduced crime reports from the area, but now seven months later the criminals are at it again, as appears from the latest high-profile mugging.
