Robbery at Social Security Office in Panama

Antisocials steal weapons from the Social Security Fund

Two armed individuals surprised the on-duty security agents during the early morning at the Social Security Fund. The criminals kept the agents gagged before escaping with around 40 9mm pistols and 4 shotguns.

The robbery took place in Panamá Oeste, where the First Prosecutor's Office has already begun the corresponding investigations. It is known that the antisocials managed to flee in a taxi and a Kia Sportage SUV.

"We are working hard to clarify this serious incident and recover the stolen weapons as soon as possible," stated a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office. The security agents, for their part, were physically unharmed but psychologically affected by the incident.
