Insecurity grows inhighways and major roads in Cuba, according to complaints from drivers on social networks.

“Be very careful at night on the highway. In the [km] 200 section, a Peugeot 301 passed me several times and then stayed on the shoulder. Later [approximately two kilometers] a guy climbed on the back of my truck and stung the tarp. What he didn't imagine was that people were coming from behind and, when he saw it, he jumped," a driver warned.

They robbed me and threw stones at my car. "The police for pleasure."

At the end of April, the CubanYanilexis Lezcano warned about car theft on roads in eastern Cuba and assured that these were not isolated cases. In a Facebook post, Lezcano explained the case of a car theft that allegedly occurred in the town of Guáimaro.

"The keys had been left inside the car at the time they went to the bathroom. Two more tourist cars appeared there, and a man got out of one of those and stole it. Be very careful because this has also happened with people inside (of vehicles) and then, in the best of cases, they throw them on the road, causing them harm," he said.
