In late September, two hooded individuals entered the home of Villa González councilman Manuel Eduardo Torres and his wife, tying them up in the kitchen. The assailants stole approximately RD$200,000 in cash, US$2,000, and various valuables from the residence, which also functioned as a pawn shop.

By mid-October, authorities made progress in the investigation. Two individuals, Luis Miguel Sánchez Lebrón (alias ‘Lebrón’) and Justo Ramón Durán Jiménez (alias ‘Tatuaje’ or ‘El Fuerte’), had been arrested, and 14-karat gold jewelry believed to be stolen was recovered. Subsequently, a third suspect, Luciano Mendoza Santos (known as ‘El Son’ or ‘Edison’), surrendered to the National Police accompanied by legal counsel and family members.
