Five armed men dressed in military uniform robbed a branch of Asociacion Popular de Ahorros y Prestamos located on Charles de Gaulle Avenue in Santo Domingo East at noon yesterday, and took an undetermined amount of cash. Their faces were disguised by military camouflage paint. Listin Diario reports that they overpowered the security guards, threatened the clients and forced cashiers to hand over the money, escaping in a blue Mitsubishi Montero 2002 SUV with license plate number G140370, which they abandoned near the intersection of Mella Highway and Charles de Gaulle, and went on to steal another vehicle to continue their flight. Police reported that one of the robbers was caught when he tried to escape on foot through a street in the area, and added that the police are hoping to crack the case in the next few hours. The detainee is being questioned by police investigators and the Justice Department.
