The Tigers training complex in the Dominican Republic became the latest to suffer a robbery:
The robbery happened days after the St. Louis Cardinals‘ complex in the country was hit. The facilities of the Miami Marlins and Cleveland Guardians were also robbed recently, a source told The Associated Press.
Nobody was hurt in the Tigers’ and Cardinals’ robberies, authorities said.
Dominican police are investigating whether the robberies are connected. Five men also broke into the Cardinals complex, bound and gagged a security guard and stole belongings from players and staff members.

The DR is experiencing good economic growth, so maybe this kind of crime is on the way out I hope that happens before this type of theft becomes so pervasive that teams no longer wish to keep facilities there.
