Robbers tie up golf lengend Chi Chi, then sack home

Puerto Rico police say they have arrested the main suspect in the robbery inside the home of golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez.

Police spokeswoman Leticia Jover says 51-year-old Rey Francisco Rivera Marrero was arrested on Wednesday in the San Juan suburb of Bayamon.

Jover says Rivera led a group of five assailants who broke into Rodriguez's apartment at a southern coast golf resort on May 19. They tied up Rodriguez and his wife and stole cash and jewelry worth $500,000.

The 74-year-old golfer said in an interview that he has been installing security systems in his home since the robbery.
