The bakery and confectionery of Cantilo and 15A suffered the third robbery since November / G. Calvello
“This month I have already been robbed twice and on November 8 as well. It is a series that gives you anger and leaves you with little desire to continue ”, she told this newspaper yesterday afternoon, intertwining impotence and bitterness, Patricia Bianchi, owner of a downtown bakery and confectionery in City Bell.
He still regretted the scrutiny suffered on the 2nd of this month in his business, located on Cantilo and 15 A streets, when on Monday at noon the insecurity there manifested itself in the form of assault.
In this sense, he told EL DIA that “it was at 11:50, when a boy parked his motorcycle on the sidewalk, came down with his helmet on his head and when he entered here, he first pretended to be a customer.”
He specified in this regard that “when he was attended by the employee, he asked her to buy two quarters of some cookies.” But the farce did not last more than a few seconds.
He immediately brought out a firearm, threatened the seller and ordered her to give him the money from the collection, the amount of which was not disclosed by the victim.
FOR DOUBLE GAME
Once he had the loot in his possession, with astonishing tranquility he walked to the front door and found a woman on his way out.
Also through verbal intimidation and without bombastic movements, which could arouse suspicion among occasional witnesses, he stole the victim’s belongings.
“This lady’s husband, who was waiting for her in a vehicle, realized that something strange was happening and confronted the thief, who quickly threatened him,” Bianchi commented on that other criminal act carried out by the same subject.
Moments later, the thief in question got on the motorcycle with which he had arrived and sped away from the area.
As this newspaper was able to find out, nothing is yet known about his whereabouts, despite the fact that the filming of the assault went viral through various information portals and is also in the hands of the police in that jurisdiction.
Precise moment in which the offender demands the collection from the employee / EL DIA
“YOU CANNOT WORK LIKE THIS”
Insecurity has been merciless with this trade since the end of last year and the situation, logically, tends to mistreat the person in charge of this place.
“Just four days ago we were able to replace the glass door on the front of the business, after criminals destroyed it in the robbery that we had on January 2 and after which we had placed a wooden plaque there. And after three weeks, they came to rob us again, ”she expressed indignantly.
“The truth is that you cannot work like this. It must be taken into account that this business is located in the heart of City Bell and even two and a half blocks from the tenth police station, ”he later explained.
At the same time, he made it clear that “in the 12 years that he has been here with this bakery and confectionery, we have already been robbed between four and five times.”
Also, upset, she pointed out that “it would seem that one should settle for the fact that although they came to steal, they did not hurt anyone. But it is not like that, we should not naturalize these thefts ”.
“Even less when I pay all the taxes and services, so I have the right to work accordingly, without having to suffer this kind of episodes,” Bianchi stressed.
In that neighborhood, in turn, there were those who complained because “we don’t have patrols” and that “criminals know it and that’s why they move like fish in water.”
THE TWO PREVIOUS THEFTS
As has been said, the previous robbery at the “Cantilo” bakery and confectionery occurred in the early hours of January 2.
On that occasion, according to what was reported by the victim, those who entered to rob that business did so after first breaking the glass door at the entrance with stones.
“They took cash and also a digital scale,” he explained. The security cameras reflected that two hooded thieves acted. It was conjectured that due to their physical build and agility, they would be minors. As for the escuche of November 8, thieves stole a safe there.
