A Cuban was the main actor in a dramatic robbery at the El Louvre hotel store in the heart of Matanzas city.
The individual, identified as José Rafael Rodríguez Durán, was arrested and the stolen clothing items were recovered, according to the official source "Con todos la Victoria" on Facebook.
Rodríguez Durán, who has a history of offenses including burglary, possession of a knife, assault, and property damage, is now facing a new charge after breaking the store's window to steal clothing items inside.
The official source did not provide further details about the circumstances or the modus operandi of the theft at the exclusive hotel.
"People are crazy; doing that in a store with an alarm, less than 100 meters from the Operative Guard of the Parque de la Libertad...," commented an internet user on social media, highlighting the recklessness of the act, a sentiment that was echoed by other commentators.
The E Louvre Hotel is located in the historic center of Matanzas, Cuba, facing Plaza de la Libertad. It is an architectural gem from the late 19th century. Founded in 1879, it has retained its original name throughout the years. After necessary repairs, it reopened its doors in 1998.
This boutique hotel, featuring 15 standard double rooms, is part of the "Hoteles Encanto" (Hoteles E) chain, a Cuban brand known for providing accommodations in buildings of significant historical and architectural value, blending historical charm with modern comforts.
In recent years, coinciding with the escalating economic crisis in Cuba, theft of all kinds has increased throughout the country, affecting both individuals and various state entities.
