There was also an armed robbery in Independence village. It happened this morning when the owner of Myra Store, who is Myra Cruz a grocer who also provides money gram services was sitting in the store. That's when 3 masked dark-skinned men entered the store and pointed guns toward Cruz and a male customer. They then ordered them to the ground before binding their arms and feet with duct tape. The robbers ultimately made off with $3,000.00, a large garbage bag filled with Sodas, and a Samsung cellphone which they only got after punching the male customer in the head.
