In broad daylight and before everyone's eyes, criminals assault a couple in Santa Marta
$10,000,000 pesos would be the reason for the assault, residents of Santa Marta are concerned about insecurity
Last Saturday, around 3:00 in the afternoon, a group of armed men perpetrated a daring robbery in the middle of the park in the El Cundí neighborhood in Santa Marta. The criminals, mobilizing on a motorcycle and carrying firearms, approached a couple who were about to get into their truck.
What at first appeared to be a scene from an action movie quickly turned into an extremely dangerous situation. An amateur video circulating on various instant messaging platforms shows how criminals intimidate the couple, demanding that they hand over all their valuables.
The video shows how the criminal gets off the motorcycle with what appears to be a firearm in his hands. He points at the man who was walking with his partner and demands his belongings, including a gold chain, a watch, a wallet with cash and mobile devices.
The couple tries to resist the robbery, but the criminal subdues them and strips them of everything of value. Despite the woman's pleas, the criminals do not stop and escape on the motorcycle in an unknown direction, leaving the couple in a state of shock and helpless.
According to witnesses, the man who was the victim of the assault had withdrawn approximately ten million from the bank.
The Police or the Santa Marta Mayor's Office have not yet ruled on this criminal act, which has generated concern among the inhabitants of the city.
