The alert was communicated to the National Police, who immediately sent a patrol to the scene. There, they found three men, the alleged perpetrators of the attack, along with the victim, whose bag had also allegedly been stolen.
According to Sur, the woman had met one of the men involved in the events at a bar in the area. Later, he offered to walk her home for a walk on the beach.
