The victim identified the weapon and money as part of what was taken during the robbery, according to the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City.
The alleged perpetrators, a 37-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, were arrested and searched, where a 50-centimeter-long machete with a plastic handle and cash were found. They were subsequently informed of their constitutional rights and were placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor for the case to be investigated and their legal situation determined.
