The Quintana Roo State Attorney General’s Office confirmed the arrest of four people—three men and one woman—who allegedly broke into the Diamante K Hotel, owned by businessman Roberto Palazuelos, located in Tulum.
The detainees are accused of attempted robbery and aggravated assault against an employee of the establishment.
According to official information released by the institution, the events took place early Wednesday morning when the group entered the building and threatened an employee, demanding the keys. When the employee refused, he was assaulted by the individuals, who then fled.
The State Attorney General’s Office specified that the arrest was made possible thanks to a review of video surveillance footage and intelligence work.
Regarding these events, Roberto Palazuelos emphasized that there was never any threat or violence against guests or tourists, as no one was present, and the assault was only against the hotel’s security guard.
The four alleged perpetrators have been placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the authority that will determine their legal status within the corresponding constitutional term.
