Córdoba: an unusual wave of air conditioner motor thefts is causing concern

The San Vicente neighborhood of Córdoba has made headlines in recent days due to a strange wave of thefts.

These are thefts of air conditioner motors, which criminals seek in order to extract the copper and sell it.

Alicia de la Fuente, president of the San Vicente Neighborhood Center, told Canal 10 that it is "disastrous because of the insecurity everywhere."

De la Fuente said she feels "worried" about the situation the neighborhood is going through.

To make matters worse, maximum temperatures are exceeding 33°C (91.4°F) in Córdoba's capital.
