Alarm in Holguín over the rise in thefts and scams related to the sale of scooters. To avoid becoming a victim of these crimes, Facebook user Marian Pérez Rodríguez shared her experience of losing hers. She explains that she is from Las Tunas and found an interested buyer in Holguín who asked them to travel there to purchase the motorcycle.
And that's what they did. The man then asked to test the motorcycle, and he did so with the owner sitting behind him. When she got off the bike, he accelerated and they never saw either the thief or the motorcycle again. It turned out he had given her false information and an incorrect address.
"Don't trust anyone, even if they claim to be a interested buyer and show you their ID. It’s really difficult that in these tough times, someone could steal your hard work."
Marian Pérez Rodríguez's case is not an isolated incident. A similar situation happened to David Suárez, a Facebook user who claimed this week that 16 motorcycles have been stolen in Holguín in less than a month. He is one of the victims of these thefts and has posted photos of the individuals who allegedly stole his scooter. Additionally, he states that he reported the incident to the police and shares his phone number, asking for information about the thieves and promising "a generous reward." In his case, his motorcycle was stolen just one day after he put it up for sale.
Alexander García, another resident of Holguín, also suffered the theft of his scooter this week and shared a photo of the bike on Facebook. One of his acquaintances admitted in the comments that "they're getting out of control," referring to the thieves.
They are not the only victims. Yurisai Romero, another resident of Holguín, has also suffered the theft of her motorcycle. She shared on Facebook the moment her scooter was stolen from the parking area of the Hermanos Aguilera community, in front of the Pedagogical Institute. In this case, she claims that the thief is the guard himself, who is now in prison, and that at the time of the theft, he was accompanied by another person.
None of those affected have praised the investigative work of the police, which seems more concerned with increasing the number of political prisoners than with addressing citizen insecurity on the streets of Cuba.
