Also the hold ups continue I did see the ones you posted Life, so a lady reported that she stopped to make a call in front of the stadium and 3 heaven’s jump into her 2000 dodge truck and beat the crap out of her and took 2000 dollars, she went to friends house and called the cops, she might of been from Phoenix.
Another report says a 20 year old girl from town was deprived of her belongings and just glanced at that one so I didn’t get full report, said it was a new band in town hopefully they catch them quick.

Agree Russ,
Older lady from the US, $2K on her at 1:45 AM = A Huge Hummmmmmmmm??? From me.
All the years I've been down to Penasco, I don't think I've ever had even more than $1,000 on me at one time.
If I need more than that there's ATM's, can use a CC and I can write a check if needed, which I've done
many times to pay for my building projects.

The 60 year old who got robbed needs to come and defend herself as a victim and tell her story Cordina F I believe she is a member here.

This was the article regarding the 20 yr old that I found that Playaperro mentioned:

The police report indicates that at 8:30 p.m. the assault was reported in the grocery store named "García", located on Reforma Street and Right of Way.

Upon arriving at the scene, the police officers interviewed 20-year-old Ana Cristina J., who informed the officers that moments before a man of short stature arrived at the scene, wearing adult pants, a two-tone blue shirt. , black cap, a blue scarf covering his face and a bandage on his right hand.

The subject addressed the young woman pointing a firearm at her, while telling her to give him the money that he had in the box and also to give him the one they had under the counter, taking an approximate of 9,000 pesos in bills of different denominations, taking a bread from the counter and then leaving.

Band of thieves operates with total impunity in Puerto Peñasco

> Neighbors of the San Rafael neighborhood denounce that they have been victims of the robberies of this group of criminals
Editorial team Peñasco Diario
Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, September 23, 2020.- Neighbors of the San Rafael neighborhood, who live along Alejandro Boulevard Sobarzo and, starting on Calle 60, denounce that there is a gang of thieves that is operating with total impunity in this sector of the city.
According to the information sent to this media, Peñasco Diario, this group of criminals is made up of a woman, of height between 1.60 cm-1.65 cm, thin, dark complexion, and two men, one robust, 1.70 cm. tall, and the other slim, like 1.65 cm to 1.70 cm.
Also, from the data provided, it is known that they are in more than one vehicle, and there are already several large robberies that have been perpetrated.
Likewise, the residents of this neighborhood affirm that they have already filed many complaints with the corresponding authorities, however, the robberies have not stopped.

They say the crime is only going to increase since they lost a major funding to their police force here. I read the article last week on De Frente Facebook.

Surprised that the cartel hasn't dealt with them yet. The police aren't going to do anything. Except take a 40% cut. Who's plaza is it? Still Mayo????

Have we factually determined it was AM and not PM? I've seen both and was waiting to comment but doesn't sound like we'll ever know. I'll say this. If it's during the day, nothing really out of the ordinary. The scarier part would be a tourist getting robbed in the middle of the day. Doesn't really happen in RP. Now, if this lady is out at 145AM with 2k.... that shit is suspect. HIGHLY SUSPECT. Past curfew with a shit ton of money on your person? This sounds like she was meeting someone and that someone decided to let their friends know and then boom, set up. She was on the phone??? Yea, calling the person she was meeting to let them know she was there at the "drop" location, with the money and what color her car/truck was... Damn. I might need to become a detective.

What I posted was a cut and past of what was posted on FB, and that included the heading and source in Spanish. Could the person who posted that have changed the timeframe? Absolutely. Could it have been changed when it was interpreted? I don't know, but we've all seen weird crap show up after Spanish is interpreted to English.
What's interesting is that it say's " The woman pointed out that the day in mention stopped her pick-up vehicle Dodge Ram 2009, at the height of this city's baseball stadium]".... While on the second robbery it says "The second violent robbery incident arose yesterday evening, Tuesday, September 22". Both incidents were on the 22nd. I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

Where's Roberto? He's not answering my emails and that's very unusual.

Well... Anyone know what's become of him? Should someone go looking?
We have been contacting each other by email, and more so since the virus hit, but he hasn't gotten back to me in weeks now, and I've sent multiple emails. I don't have his current phone number, just his old one. He did mention he would like to go to the states to see his son, but his vehicles were having issues. I've stayed a few times at the casa he owned, but I've never been to where he's staying now in Las Conchas. Yes, I'm worried. He has some good connections, and the town is not nearly as virus-free as being reported, so he was taking the proper precautions.
