A total of five people, four men and one woman, were arrested in the Arroyo Naranjo municipality in Havana for violently stealing an electric motorcycle from a 72-year-old woman "who is trying to make some money by working," according to the official government Facebook profile El Cubano Fiel.
The source reported that the elderly woman -apparently very active despite her age- was on Thursday morning at the motorcycle station in La Palma when a young woman rented her bike heading to the Electric Distribution neighborhood, in the same municipality.
However, when they arrived at the agreed location, four men came out to the driver who were in cahoots with the passenger and stole the vehicle from the elderly woman.
The victim filed a complaint at the Capri unit, a complaint that reportedly had a happy ending after the news that the alleged criminals were arrested.
The mentioned official profile shared photos but did not name the alleged thieves, who would be in custody and under investigation.
Until the closure of this report, no other details about the unusual robbery have been revealed.
At the end of July, during the closing speech of the third session of the National Assembly in its tenth legislature, Miguel Díaz-Canel acknowledged the increase in violence, crime, and addictions in the country, in the context of what he referred to as an "adverse socioeconomic scenario."
Díaz-Canel said there must be "zero tolerance for the indifferent, the thieves, and the lazy," and that if laws need to be stricter, it is up to the Assembly to legislate accordingly. At the end of his speech, the leader stated that Cuba "will not be defeated by crime."
