In the Reparto Juanelo area of San Miguel del Padrón, a suburb of Havana, two thieves broke into a house under construction while someone was asleep inside. The intruders forced their way in by using a crowbar to open an iron door, and once inside, they made off with a television, tools, and construction materials. The victims, who are not residents of the capital, are seeking assistance from the community to identify those responsible.
Footage from the security camera, shared on the Facebook page "La Tijera" last Tuesday, shows the moment of the theft. This video could be crucial in pinpointing the culprits. The homeowners have requested the public's help, providing a contact number, 53595359, for any leads that might assist in catching the suspects.
The rise in criminal activity in Cuba, acknowledged even by the Cuban government, highlights the worsening economic crisis facing the nation. Not too long ago, an online user sought help in identifying a thief who, during a street altercation in Havana, seized a mobile phone from a home while being recorded by a security camera. Tania Vargas, the person reporting the incident, expressed her outrage on the Facebook group "Confituras en La Habana" and called for user support in tracking down the thief.
In a separate incident in December, a Cuban man named José Rafael Rodríguez Durán was involved in a dramatic burglary at a store in the El Louvre hotel, located in the heart of Matanzas. He was apprehended, and the stolen clothing was recovered, as reported by the pro-government source "Con todos la Victoria" on Facebook.
