Eduardo Abdiel Nieves, 24, a resident of Guaynabo's Monacillos sector, was arrested on expressway PR-52 in Caguas for his alleged involvement in a robbery targeting Sergeant Xavier Irizarry Santos. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon when Irizarry Santos, who resides in Turabo Gardens, Caguas, was washing his vehicle at home. Two assailants, allegedly armed, stole several items from him and fled in a car.
One suspect was apprehended by the Caguas Motorized Unit, but Nieves escaped into a wooded area. He was later recognized and arrested by a patrolling officer while walking on the expressway. The stolen property was reportedly found on Nieves. The other suspect's identity has not been released.
