My friend, the photographer Gary, came to the restaurant for a spectacular stretcher of fish and shellfish, with a lemon drizzle. To drink, he ordered a pitcher of ice-cold orange juice. “María, robberies against pedestrians and urban bus passengers have increased in recent weeks. The last one happened in the Panamericana Sur, in Lurín. The burglars They got on a bus as passengers and after realizing that there were no police officers, they threatened the travelers to take away their cell phones, wallets, and jewelry. All in a matter of minutes.

Also they racket bags They are the order of the day, by motorcycle, car or motorcycle taxi. They roam the streets looking for victims, usually distracted people talking on cell phones. Before they only attacked at night and early morning. Now, given the lack of surveillance, they do it even during the day. All thugs use firearms, with which they do not hesitate to shoot if the victim resists. Before they operated in the cones, but now they have begun to attack more central districts, such as Barranco, Chorrillos, San Miguel or Lince.
The thugs feel that there is no authority. Even if they are caught, the prosecutors release them giving them only appearance. Cases have been known in which thugs with house arrest, and even with electronic shackles on their feet, have gone out to commit crimes. That is why you are no longer safe anywhere. Neither in the neighborhood, nor in public transport, bank agency, betting house or neighborhood bodeguita.

Peruvians are fed up with this situation and are calling for a strong hand. Total war against the thieves and that they do not pay attention to the caviars and the supposed defenders of human rights, who are only interested in terrorists and thugs and prosecute police officers, judges or prosecutors who dare to touch the ‘little angels’ ‘. People have gotten used to doing what they want, protected by impunity. That is why many ask themselves: What are the laws for? If you are going to leave home, follow these tips:
- Don’t bring valuables, like expensive jewelry, or flaunt your high-end cell phone.
- Avoid going to remote, lonely or dark places. Walk in crowded and well-lit places.
- Do not load a lot of money, just what is necessary to do your business.
- If you are assaulted, report the incident at the police station. If you don’t, it’s as if nothing happened and the criminal will be free as if nothing had happened.
- If your cell phone is stolen, cancel all your applications for banking movements and also the line. Now it’s easy to ask for loans, open a bank account and shop for delivery only with your cell phone.
- If you are going to make a commercial transaction and you need money, do not take everything out of the bank. Now you can make transactions by phone or Internet. The ‘brands’ are attentive to those who withdraw large amounts of money. Don’t give yourself away.” Very good advice from Gary. I’m leaving, take care.
