This Friday, Cuban social media from that province reported the incident. From the Facebook group "Revolico La Esperanza CAMAGÜEY", the internet user Rujaine Morell asked for help in locating the man whose face appeared on the account of the stolen mobile WhatsApp.
" This man is being sought; he just stole from a neighbor a little while ago and he took a selfie. Any information is appreciated," expressed the resident of Reparto La Nueva Esperanza on Facebook.
For her part, the internet user Irma Broek left another powerful message on that social network, asking for information about the man in the photo.
"It is necessary to know if anyone recognizes this individual. Last night, he stole a phone from a neighbor of Rujaine Morell, on 3rd Street in the La Nueva Esperanza neighborhood. Because he was acting as a thief, and not knowing how to handle a cell phone, he took a selfie that, thanks to his stupidity, reveals his identity, as he uploaded his own photo to the WhatsApp status of the phone's owner," he explained.
In the comments on the post, one of the forum users mentioned that the thief's sister returned the phone and clarified that the victims do not want to file another report.
