A policeman in Santiago de Cuba was assaulted and the thieves stole his motorcycle, his relatives denounced on social networks.
Several posts on Facebook report that the event occurred last week around 11:50 p.m.
At the time of the assault, the police officer was off duty and was going to an ATM in the La Comercial establishment.
“In a matter of 20 minutes he was robbed. Please, everyone who sees this publication and knows the motorcycle, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling 58448284 or 53957775,” Internet user May Ferrera posted in the group “360 Santiago de Cuba Buy, Sell Cuba”.
The Cuban Sissi Rosabal, also close to the victim, published the incident and denounced “these types of assaults.” She said that they are desperate because they need to recover the vehicle, and they even offer a reward to whoever finds it.
Reports of robberies in Cuba have increased on social networks, and account for an increase in crime and crimes of robberies with violence throughout the country.
On Thursday, the complaint of a young Cuban woman in Santiago who was assaulted with a knife to steal her phone was reported.
“Hello, I have just been robbed and they took my documents and my phone. Please, if you see my card, write me. My name is Delia Gorra Díaz,” the victim said in a Facebook post.
Also in that territory, the father of priest Leandro Naun Hung was assaulted in his own home with a machete and the enormous wound on his head almost cost him his life. He said after recovering from the incident that they go to bed in fear of the wave of violence.
“We get up afraid to speak so as not to offend, to think so as not to be different and be thrown out of the group… and we go to bed afraid of being surprised at night, in the middle of sleep, and losing our lives in a second. He Terror is a virus that has been taking over our lives,” he said.
Despite this palpable reality, the regime continues to deny the escalation of violence on the island.
The Ministry of the Interior (MININT) assured this week that it detains most criminals in just 48 hours. The assault on the policeman occurred last week and his assailants have not yet been arrested.
