Police are calling on bank customers to limit cash withdrawals from both inside financial institutions and their ATMs.
This comes after a 49-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint in Santa Cruz minutes after he had withdrawn $150,000 from the First Citizens branch at Eastern Main Road in San Juan.
The victim told police that at about 11.35 a.m. on Thursday, he had just arrived at his home at La Canoa Road in Santa Cruz, when a silver Nissan B14 car pulled up behind him.
Two armed men exited the vehicle and confronted the man.
They demanded that he hand over the money that he had just withdrawn from a teller at the bank, he told police.
The suspects stole his bag that contained the money, as well as several other bank cards and identifying documents and his cell phone.
They then fled the scene.
The police were notified and a team of officers led by PC Powell responded and are continuing enquiries.
If that man had to withdraw 150k for a "personal project"maj. tom wrote:So somebody in the line inside the bank see who withdraw big cash and this was just a big timing coincidence that all lined up perfectly?
Or is someone just loitering all day inside watching for a big cash withdrawal?
Or someone employed within make a call?

Hard to imagine paying day-labourers in anything but cash too because many people don't have access to a bank account for direct deposit. And then so many places don't even accept card payments, cash only!
One type of criminal just breeding more opportunity for other criminals.
