Two men disguised as women assaulted the mini-market of a gas station at kilometer 4 of Avenida Carlos Julio Arosemena in Guayaquil.
The criminals, according to the images of the security video of the service station, arrived on a motorcycle.
The robbery occurred last weekend. The individuals wore long wigs and acted as clients until they took out their weapons to strip salespeople from the store’s gas station.

Colonel Juan Carlos Soria, head of the Subdirectorate of Crimes against Property (Sidprobac), reported yesterday that the experts will analyze the videos to identify and arrest the thugs.
General Marcelo Tobar, chief of the Police of Zone 8 (Guayaquil, Durán and Samborondón), said that in the face of what happened, controls were increased in some sectors of the city, considering that crime migrates and changes the modality due to the controls of use and circulation of motorcycles.
The officer said that they will continue with the operations so that between 7:00 and 4:00, two men do not travel by motorcycle. “Because we can not deviate from what is provided by the municipal ordinance.”

Tobar revealed that to circumvent the controls, thieves now use bicycles, as revealed by two cases reported in recent days. “The objective of the ordinance is not to remove motorcycles, but we do it when they do not have the documentation in order or do not carry plates.” Read Article
