Mounted Police
Frustrate "Paseo Millionario"
The mounted unit of the Fuerza Pública came
to the rescue of a woman victim of the well
known "paseo millionario", where assailants
kidnap their vicitms for a visit to various
automated teller machines to take out as
much as cash as possible before being set
free.
In Friday's case, a woman, whose identity is
being protected, found herself in the hands
of two assailants whose intent was the paseo
millionario. The attack occurred in the
Sabana Sur.
"They wanted to take my car and threatened
me with a gun, I screamed and was able to
free myself of them", said the woman.
A nearby mounted police unit came to the
rescue within minutes of the alert and had
the men in custody.
Police authorities say that the paseo
millionarios increase during pay periods,
where there is cash on hand or in the bank
accounts.
The mounted police unit is based in the
Parque La Sabana.
