translated from Spanish
A group of 60 Brazilian tourists were assaulted in the insular entity, when they were aboard a Bus Margarita unit in the Passenger Terminal of the Isleta I sector, when they arrived from the Island of Coche, the information was confirmed by the director of Security and Public Order of Nueva Esparta state, Henry Jaspe.
"They were subdued by a group of antisocials* who manned two motorcycles and a black taxi-type vehicle, and, under threat of firearms, stripped these tourists of their passports, valuables and cash," Jaspe said. .
He also explained that the tourists were unharmed and that an operation was deployed by officials of the intervention Iapolene, CICPC and National Guard, achieving the capture of a person who allegedly participated in the vandalism.
"We regret this type of event, we regret that the tourism potential of the Island is tainted by this type of event. We also insist that we do not have control of the state police, so we can not provide a specific security policy in this case, "he recalled.

*Motorcycle riding "antisocials" are called "colectivos", gun toting Chavista thugs who are paid to do the dirty work of Maduro and the PSUV. Instead of shaking down businesses and Venezuelan pedestrians, they have taken to robbing anyone who they think has hard currency, since Maduro used to pay them in now worthless Bolivars.
Venezuela has the highest violent crime rate in the western hemisphere, and the highest murder rate per capita on the planet. Viva Chavez!

OP
No one injured. No one "mugged". Those roving bands of Cavista terrorists are not very good.
