Armed Men Rob State-Owned
Radio Station in Venezuela
Caracas - Four armed men entered early
Friday morning the offices of a state-owned radio station east of
Caracas and looted its equipment and food tickets.
The raiders also damaged some equipment of Radio Nacional de
Venezuela (RNV), but no one was hurt in the incident, the Venezuelan
Communication and Information Ministry said in a statement.
The incident occurred at 1:30 a.m. local time when the RNV was
re-broadcasting a program from the sate-owned Venezolana de
Television, the statement said.
The armed men stayed 20 minutes inside the facilities and
communicated with other people through cell phones before escaping
aboard the same motorbike they arrived with, a witness said.
The authorities did not mention the value of the food tickets the
robbers took.
