A yacht with 2 persons on board anchored off Graham’s Place around 4 PM, and visited the palapa ashore. They met a man who identified himself by name and then asked several questions about their planned stay, and a number of persons on board.
At 8 PM they were boarded by 4 armed men (3 – 9mm handguns, 1 rifle), wearing military-style pants, 2 hooded, and all wearing ranger type boots. One of the men was the man they had met earlier at the palapa. The men demanded all things of value and threatened to kill the crew if they made any noise or resisted. The captain/crew complied, and the men departed with cash, electronics, iPads, cameras, cellphone, a gas tank, and a propane cylinder after threatening to return if any report was made.
A detailed report was made to the police and the port captain.
