Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — Police apprehended a Oaxaca man after he was caught robbing a Playa del Carmen home. The robbery was reported Wednesday when the owner of the home arrived to find a man inside stealing random belongings.
Municipal Police responded to the call, “arresting a subject for the possible crime of robbery in the Quinta del Carmen subdivision,” the SSP reported in a statement.
“Preventive police received a report to the 9-1-1 emergency number of a subject who entered a home stealing clothing and personal accessories,” the Seguridad Pública Solidaridad (SSP) said.
Upon arriving at the indicated location on 20th Avenue and 24th Street, a group of area residents pointed out the subject who they said was running from the scene, but they caught up with him and secured him.
