The body count slowed over the weekend, but the violence continued with a shootout Saturday evening that left one person dead, four injured and 20 trucks and SUVs riddled with bullets on and near one of the city’s main highways.

Four more bodies were found between Sunday afternoon and early Monday morning, adding a total of five to the death toll blamed on feuding drug gangs, according to the Baja California Attorney General’s Office.

Among the dead is an ex-Tijuana police officer who was fatally shot, according to the office.

The shootout started about 6 p.m. Saturday on Bulevar Insurgentes near Parque Morelos. Nearly three hours later, police officers were still finding late-model trucks and SUVs with bullet holes on the Via Rapida, a main thoroughfare, and on nearby streets. Several of the vehicles contained police equipment, including radios, bulletproof vests and lights and sirens.

Miguel Caballero – Bulletproof Clothes

DevX sent me another great article:

Exclusive clothing boutiques line Avenida Presidente Masarik here. A Burberry coat? A Corneliani suit? A Gucci scarf? Have enough pesos, and they are yours.

But tucked on a leafy side street in the Polanco neighborhood is a shop unlike the others, one whose bustling business says much about the dire state of security in this country. At Miguel Caballero, named after its Colombian owner, all the garments are bulletproof.

There are bulletproof leather jackets and bulletproof polo shirts. Armored guayabera shirts hang next to protective windbreakers, parkas and even white ruffled tuxedo shirts. Every member of the sales staff has had to take a turn being shot while wearing one of the products, which range from a few hundred dollars to as much as $7,000, so they can attest to the efficacy of the secret fabric.

Heistman uses Craigslist to help with Armored Truck Robbery

Heistman uses Craigslist to help with Armored Truck Robbery

DevX sent a great link on a very Innovative New School Heist:

In a move that could be right out of a Hollywood movie, a brazen crook apparently used a Craigslist ad to hire a dozen unsuspecting decoys to help him make his getaway following a robbery outside a bank on Tuesday. He then made his escape in an inner tube on the Skykomish River.

The robbery happened about 11 a.m. on an armored truck guard at a Bank of America branch.

The robber sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed a bag of money the guard was carrying and ran about 100 yards to the creek that runs into the Skykomish River, shedding clothes as he ran.

But apparently, the robber had planned ahead. In case anyone was hot on his trail, he had at least a dozen unsuspecting decoys waiting nearby, which he recruited on Craigslist.

“I came across the ad that was for a prevailing wage job for $28.50 an hour,” said Mike, who saw a Craigslist ad last week looking for workers for a road maintenance project in Monroe.

He said he inquired and was e-mailed back with instructions to meet near the Bank of America in Monroe at 11 a.m. Tuesday. He also was told to wear certain work clothing.

“Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask… and, if possible, a blue shirt,” he said.

Mike showed up along with about a dozen other men dressed like him, but there was no contractor and no road work to be done. He thought they had been stood up until he heard about the bank robbery and the suspect who wore the same attire.

Great Heist. Style all the way. No one got hurt (really) and a testament to planning and flair.

Technology makes heists more difficult. But if you are an innovator, you can use technology to your advantage.

Like Bank of America doesn’t have enough problems.
