Masked Gunmen Rob Diners at Surco Fast-Food Restaurant in Lima

Security footage suggests the assailants targeted a recent bank customer.

Overview

  • The robbery occurred on Friday night, October 3, at a restaurant on Alameda Manuel Pérez de Tudela in the Los Próceres area of Surco.
  • Two armed suspects with faces covered—one wearing a mask and the other a motorcycle helmet—burst in and, within seconds, threatened diners to seize phones and other valuables.
  • The restaurant administrator said the men appeared to be following a customer who had just withdrawn a large sum of money from a bank.
  • According to the administrator, the assailants did not take the restaurant’s daily takings and instead stole only patrons’ belongings, with minors present during the incident.
  • No arrests or official police findings were reported, and coverage relies on the restaurant’s security-camera video published by national outlets.
