🚨🇦🇷 - #URGENTE- Motochorros intentaron robarle al móvil de C5N durante una nota en vivo en Córdoba
The street, an unprotected zone even with cameras rolling
The attack took place while the crew was working on a busy public road. The criminal was unfazed despite the live cameras. The coverage was interrupted and the journalist nervously recounted what had just happened.
In Córdoba's capital, street snatchings have become part of the daily landscape.Not even the presence of media deters criminals. Police did not arrive at the scene during the broadcast or after the incident.
Residents claim that motorcycle thieves operate without obstacles and in broad daylight. The hot spots are well known, but there is no sustained patrolling. Meanwhile, the provincial government's response to the growing insecurity remains nonexistent.
Unstoppable insecurity: not even the press is safe in Córdoba
The presence of media outlets doesn't guarantee safety against urban crime. The journalist was assisted by colleagues after the episode. The images show her desperation as she experienced the event firsthand.
Incidents of insecurity are multiplying while the provincial ruling party looks the other way. Córdoba is experiencing a wave of minor crimes with serious consequences. The official response seems to be reduced to statistics that few believe.
The impunity of motorcycle thieves reflects the decline of public order. Security forces are overwhelmed and lack political support. The absence of planning and prevention turns the streets into no man's land.
