Gewapende rovers maken geld en telefoon buit en verwonden slachtoffer in Latour

On 08 November at 15:26 local time, local law enforcement confirmed that a violent armed robbery unfolded on Frigiterestraat in the Latour neighborhood, resulting in a civilian sustaining non-life-threatening lacerations. Three unidentified assailants, traveling on two separate mopeds, targeted an unsuspecting pedestrian at close range, brandishing firearms to coerce the victim into surrendering personal property. During the confrontation, the victim suffered cut wounds across both arms and the forehead after the suspects used sharp-edged weapons alongside their firearms to threaten compliance. Notably, none of the three perpetrators wore face coverings during the incident, leaving potential for witness identification of their physical features. The suspects fled the scene immediately after completing the heist, escaping on their two mopeds with a haul that included 1,500 Surinamese dollars, 50 euros in cash, and a personal mobile phone. Local police have launched an active investigation into the incident, appealing to any witnesses who observed the three unmasked men or their mopeds in the Frigiterestraat area around the time of the attack to come forward with evidence to help track down the suspects.
