The robbery occurred at the height of the 18th block of the Piedra Bigua shred, in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho, in front of a store and a few meters from the Initial Educational Institution 084 Virgen María.
The woman was at the school gate when an armed guy came down from a red motorcycle taxi and threatened to kill her.
At one point, to try to thwart the robbery, the woman ran, but the robbers followed her and rounded her up. Then the victim of the robbery decided to throw away his phone and saw how the guy picked up the device and fled the scene in the motorcycle taxi.
“Also in a nearby market they have entered to rob. Unfortunately there is no solution to this. We have been suffering all our lives. I have nephews, sometimes they go out to play and one has to be aware. Nor can you start a business and you can't be calm,” said a neighbor to América Noticias.
INCREASED PATROL
Neighbors in the area asked the authorities to increase police patrolling or district serenity, especially at times when people return home from work. “At that time the robberies usually happen,” said the neighbor.
In addition, they indicated that there are not only robberies committed in the area, but also drug use.
