Newspapers and radio stations in the area reported that, according to the victims, the assailants landed on the beach in a boat whose motor wouldnt start when they tried to leave, so they stole a fishermans boat for their getaway.

With an aggressive attitude, one of the bandits ordered the tourists to open their purses and hand over all their belongings, while the others kept their victims at gunpoint, the daily said.
Besides getting away with money, watches, mobile phones and even the keys and ownership documents of the tourists vehicles, they also made off with a purebred puppy that they snatched from the hands of a little girl, the daily said.
The assailants, the newspaper said, stayed for about an hour on the beach, after which local residents protested the supposed delay of police in coming to their rescue by blocking a number of streets with logs and tires.
