From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A Venezuelan couple became the latest victims of crime against tourists in Miami, but the robbers were apprehended after a witness to the heist alerted police. No one was hurt in the latest incident, which follows an international wave of publicity after six tourists have been slain in less than four months. Venezuelan visitor Nancy Perez told police she and her husband had stopped to get gas for their car when a man jumped out of the car behind, stole her purse and ran off in broad daylight. Two men and a woman were arrested.
