Palm Beach robbery suspects were detained after a police search ended with a car crashing into a residential yard in Turibana on Monday night, October 19, according to a police account reported by NoticiaCla and AWE24. One of two men who reported being robbed was taken to hospital.
Two men sought help in Pos Abao
Police received the report at about 9:45 p.m., after the men sought assistance at a home in Pos Abao. The men told officers that five men in a black car had robbed them on Caya Calco in Palm Beach.
According to their account, the assailants carried a firearm and a knife and unsuccessfully tried to take a white Mitsubishi van. One victim was struck with the firearm and required hospital treatment, the reports said.
Search led to Seroe Pela and Turibana
Officers subsequently found a vehicle matching the description in Seroe Pela. One suspect ran away but was caught; police reported finding drugs on him. Other patrols continued searching for the car, which later crashed into a yard in Turibana. The occupants were detained and the vehicle was seized.
The robbery investigation team and victim-support service were notified. Anyone with information can call the police tip line, 11141, anonymously. The reports describe suspects and allegations; they do not establish a court finding of guilt.
