Keith Woolford Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Highway Robbery near Santiago confirmed This Wednesday morning an incident was reported on the Panama-David bus route, near La Mesa de Santiago. Two men who were traveling by car sedan intercepted the bus, stripped the driver of the money, proceeded to check a bag and then left, confirmed the director of the National Police in a message read on the program X-ray of Eco TV. Earlier reports in social networks indicated that armed men attacked the passengers, however this version has not been confirmed by the authorities. http://www.telemetro.com/nacionales/Confirman-incidente-bus-ruta-Panama-David_0_1020798229.html Edited April 26, 2017 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyS Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It sounds like the stage coach robberies in the old West. In Oakland, CA a gang of about 60 young men boarded a BART train and robbed the passengers. Are they going to have to start putting armed security people on every public conveyance?

Brundageba Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Pepper or wasp spray to disable them at a distance. Here's a bus forced to stop by some vehicle...chances are the driver is anticipating something bad might happen. OK then you get out the spray and stop him in his tracks. From there any of the guys on the bus could kick his butt off that bus. Then they call police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as easy as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 These guys shot there way into the bus. I did see a Tweet showing a bullet hole in the door, so I can't imagine the driver risking his life to defend the bus and it's cargo, which includes passengers. 'Radio Silence' seems to have enveloped this story. Bus owners are powerful people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
