Four arrested after San Juan robbery

Four men have been ar­rest­ed and sev­er­al stolen items re­cov­ered fol­low­ing a rob­bery with vi­o­lence against a 45-year-old bar pro­pri­etor in San Juan on Sun­day night.

Po­lice said the in­ci­dent oc­curred around 10.30 pm on Oc­to­ber 25, when the vic­tim parked his sil­ver Nis­san Navara along Re­al Street, in front of his home.

As he was walk­ing to­wards his house, he was ap­proached by two masked men, one of whom was armed with a firearm.

The armed sus­pect re­port­ed­ly pressed the weapon against the vic­tim’s body and an­nounced a rob­bery.

A strug­gle en­sued, dur­ing which both sus­pects al­leged­ly struck the man sev­er­al times about his body.

The as­sailants re­port­ed­ly es­caped with a wal­let con­tain­ing $1,200 in cash, per­son­al doc­u­ments, bank cards, a Sam­sung cel­lu­lar phone, ve­hi­cle keys and oth­er per­son­al be­long­ings.

They then fled on foot through an aban­doned tem­ple be­fore head­ing west along Re­al Street.

The vic­tim sub­se­quent­ly re­port­ed the in­ci­dent to of­fi­cers at the San Juan Po­lice Sta­tion.

Fol­low­ing the re­port, of­fi­cers of the Home In­va­sion Unit in­ter­cept­ed a black Nis­san Ti­i­da hatch­back in the El So­cor­ro area.

The ve­hi­cle was oc­cu­pied by four men, aged be­tween 26 and 40.

Po­lice searched the oc­cu­pants and the ve­hi­cle, dur­ing which sev­er­al items be­long­ing to the vic­tim were re­port­ed­ly re­cov­ered.

The four men were ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the San Juan Po­lice Sta­tion as in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ued.

Po­lice have not in­di­cat­ed whether the four men were among the two sus­pects who al­leged­ly car­ried out the rob­bery or whether fur­ther ar­rests are ex­pect­ed.
