McDonald's Break-In

[Keith Woolford]

The other morning I went to pulll into McDonalds on the PanAmerican Highway and found the manager blocking the entrance. She told me they were closed because of 'ladrones' (thieves). Here's the story from the Ministerio Publico.

Investigation Ordered for four people for attempted larceny to the detriment of a restaurant in Chiriqui

Four people remain in custody, for being linked to a crime of attempted theft to the detriment of a fast food restaurant, located on the Inter-American highway in the district of David.

On March 18 in the early hours of the morning, agents of the National Police apprehend four people, two of them inside a vehicle and the other two near the restaurant, after receiving information of what was happening.

According to the first inspections,  the roof of the local storage area the area was breached and glass doors and other doors were broken, causing serious damage.

With the elements of conviction gathered by the Public Prosecutor's Office through the Primary Care Section, in charge of Prosecutor Mitzila de Saldaña and Alberto Concepción, Prosecutors Jose Luis Castrellón and María Villarreal of the Decision and Early Litigation Section, requested legalize the investigation against them, which was admitted by the Warranty Judge who ordered the provisional detention.

Inside one of the vehicles were found two tools known as goat's foot, a mallet, adhesive tapes, a scissor to cut metal objects and green socks. During the hearing the need for the measure of provisional detention was raised, since the accused are a danger to businesses and society in general, since three have criminal records related to these crimes.
