An unidentified Juarez police officer was robbed of his equipment at a restaurant Saturday morning, according to Mexican press reports. The mugging took place at the Santiago Troncoso restaurant where a single armed suspect ordered the officer at gunpoint to relinquish his weapon and his bulletproof vest. The attacker then left with the stolen swag without firing a shot, much to the relief of the officer and nearby patrons. |
