Agents of the Puerto Rico Police, assigned to the Vega Baja district, are investigating two escalation complaints reported this morning in commercial establishments in the Bartolo Joy sector, in the Pugnado Adentro neighborhood.
The first incident was reported at 8:45 am at the La Casita del Negro business where a person forced a wooden window located on the right side of the establishment to gain access to the interior. Once inside, he took $320 in cash, according to preliminary information.
Two minutes earlier, at 8:43 am, another merchant in the sector notified the authorities that his business had been escalated, although he did not report the name of the establishment.
According to the complaint, a person managed to enter this second business through a window located in the back of the premises. From inside they took cartons of cigarettes of different brands, including Newport, Pall Mall and Winston, as well as blades for making cigarettes, lighters and cash. Additionally, eight slot machines were opened that, at the time of the investigation, the amount of money they contained was unknown.
Personnel from the Technical Services Division were mobilized to take photographs and fingerprints as evidence of what happened. Agents from the Property Division of the CIC of Vega Baja continue the investigation.
