Crime continues to be rampant on the communist island and recently a surveillance camera captured the moment an electric motorcycle was stolen in <a href="http://www.time.news/former-us-ambassador-accused-of-spying-for-cuba/" title="Former US ambassador accused of spying for Cuba“>Havana, Cuba.
The video published on social networks shows the moment in wich an alleged thief carries out this crime. In that sense, the person who spread the material asked for help to identify the subject who stole this motorcycle in Cuba.
Apparently, this alleged criminal was accompanied by another person, but only one of the thieves can be seen in the video.
In the video you can see how this subject is manipulating the front wheel of the motorcycle in order to remove a lock to take it from the place where it was parked.
Apparently,this electric motorcycle stolen in Cuba was found on a sidewalk outside a house.However, the site has not been precisely identified.
However, in the comments of the publication about this event involving a motorbike, some Internet users considered that it did not have sufficient security measures to prevent it from being stolen.
Some users even considered that the owner of this motorcycle in Cuba “gave it away” for not securing it better while it was parked.
“Excuse me,but that motorcycle was going at speed without an alarm or a lock on the helm,” said Kaliel Quintero.
“But that colleague also gave the motorcycle, apparently no alarm, no lock, maybe a padlock and the guy deactivated it, at night that motorcycle was parked on the street… You can’t trust them, a similar thing happened to me but in a hallway… After That’s an alarm, a lock and a GPS just in case something happens when you go out to look for the motorcycle wherever it is indeed without giving them time to deactivate anything,” Noslen Rodríguez added.
These types of events show how crime continues to plague the communist island while the castro regime denies this situation and seeks to make the country believe that it is indeed a “safe destination” in the international community.

How does social media impact community response too crime in urban areas like Havana?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Crime Expert on Rising Theft in Cuba
Time.news Editor: Welcome, and thank you for joining us today. We recently came across a concerning story from Havana, Cuba, where a surveillance video captured the theft of an electric motorcycle. Given the increasing crime rates in the area, we wanted to discuss this issue further. To help us understand the context, we have with us Dr. Ana Torres, a crime sociologist specializing in crime trends in latin America. Dr. Torres, thank you for being here.
Dr. Ana Torres: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: So let’s dive right in. The video of the motorcycle theft has been circulating on social media, and it highlights not only the crime itself but also the growing concern among residents. Why do you think we are seeing such a spike in theft and crime in places like Havana?
Dr.Torres: The situation in Havana is indeed troubling. The sharp increase in theft can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the economic crisis in Cuba has left many struggling to meet basic needs. As people face higher levels of poverty and unemployment, some resort to crime as a means of survival. Secondly,the lack of effective law enforcement can embolden criminals,knowing that there may be little result for their actions.
Editor: That makes a lot of sense.The surveillance footage displayed an alleged thief tampering with the motorcycle’s lock while apparently accompanied by another individual. What does this suggest about the dynamics of crime in urban settings like Havana?
Dr. Torres: The presence of accomplices in such crimes is very telling. It indicates a level of organization and planning that goes beyond opportunistic theft. Criminals often work in pairs or groups, which can help them execute crimes more efficiently and escape detection. This also reflects a potential for more extensive networks operating in the area.
editor: Interesting point. The video went viral, prompting calls from viewers for help in identifying the individual involved. Do you think social media plays a significant role in how crimes are reported and investigated today?
Dr. Torres: Absolutely. Social media has revolutionized the way communities interact and respond to crime. It creates a platform for immediate awareness and can mobilize community action more quickly than customary media. However, it can also lead to mob justice and further social unrest if not navigated carefully. On the positive side, it can serve as a deterrent, as criminals may think twice knowing they could be captured on video and recognized by the public.
Editor: That’s a double-edged sword indeed. With many Cubans calling for increased safety measures and community involvement in crime prevention,what solutions do you think are viable for tackling these ongoing issues?
Dr. Torres: Community-based initiatives are crucial.Neighborhood watch programs, local engagement with law enforcement, and grassroots campaigns to raise awareness about safety can be effective. Moreover, the government must address the root causes of crime by improving economic conditions, providing job opportunities, and investing in social programs.A multi-faceted approach that includes both prevention and intervention is vital.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Torres. Your insights shed light on a complex issue that many face in Cuba and beyond. As we continue to monitor the situation, we appreciate your expertise in understanding the nuances of crime in this particular context.
Dr. Torres: Thank you for having me. It’s important to keep discussing these issues as awareness leads to potential solutions.
Editor: And thank you to our viewers for tuning in. We will keep you updated on this and other stories,as we strive to keep our communities informed and engaged.
