First, one of them pretends that he is just passing through, and in a matter of seconds he intimidates the tourists who were in one of the tents; immediately afterwards, the other antisocial appears.
A backpack would have been stolen in this case. The attackers were traveling on a motorcycle, according to information provided by a police officer, who added that surveillance at the site was reinforced this Sunday with four uniformed officers in strategic areas.
Douglas Dillon, a tour operator, said that “there is no longer any control” in relation to the fact that robberies now occur at any time in several areas, such as Punta Murciélago, the Castle in Chulluype and near the cevicherías in Capaes.
He questioned that during the pandemic there was a large police contingent to control beaches, but now the presence of agents is scarce.
