An incident registered in Cangrejo, Sosúa, during the early hours of September 28, 2026, has led to the voluntary surrender of two young men identified as Enmanuel Ramos and Deivi Almonte. Both admitted their participation in the incident and offered their version of events before presenting themselves to the authorities. A surveillance video circulated showed two men arriving on a motorcycle at the merchant’s business and subsequently leaving the scene.
According to the victim, they took a kangaroo-style bag containing money corresponding to the sales of his business, estimated at approximately 30,000 Dominican pesos. However, Ramos and Almonte rejected this amount, claiming they obtained “around 1,250 pesos in low-denomination bills” and “over 1,500 pesos” respectively. The difference between the two versions will need to be verified by the authorities.
During a previous interview before their surrender, Ramos claimed that the object shown during the incident was not a real device, but a toy, specifically a ball. “We were like that with that toy… that’s not true, that’s a toy object, specifically a ball, a toy,” he declared. Almonte also acknowledged his participation and stated that both had consumed alcohol, explaining that they initially intended “to give a scare”.
The young men also confirmed that they initially took the merchant’s mobile phone, but decided to return it after observing that it was an iPhone. This point coincides with the previous account given by the seller and with what was observed in the surveillance material circulated about the case. In addition, they denied participation in another accusation related to an encounter that occurred on the malecon of Puerto Plata.
The young men explained that they decided to surrender due to comments they had observed on social media, which initially generated fear for them. The authorities will now need to establish the complete circumstances of the case, verify the amount of money reported by the merchant, analyze the object presented by the young men, and determine the corresponding responsibilities in accordance with the legal process.
