China News Service, May 5th. According to the WeChat official account of the Spanish version of "Western News" of the European Times, recently, there have been frequent thefts and robberies in Madrid. When paying attention, take away his jacket, seize the wallet, mobile phone and other belongings inside, or even stolen the bank card.
Committing crimes near a crowded subway station
Xiao Ming (pseudonym), a Chinese living in West China, said that at around 8pm on May 2 (Sunday), when he and his friends came out of the Sol subway station in the center of Madrid, the jackets they were holding were instantly snatched away.
The perpetrator was very skilled and fast, and when Xiao Ming reacted, he had run away without a trace.
Xiao Ming said: "At that time, Puerta del Sol seemed to be holding an event. There were so many people. I didn't have time to see who took it. I couldn't chase it.
Xiao Ming had earphones and keys in his coat at the time, but he had no cash or bank cards.
Fortunately, I didn't put my ID card inside at the time. Otherwise, the door locks at home would have to be replaced for security reasons.
The target is random regardless of age or gender
Xiao Ming said that after being robbed, he immediately went to a nearby police station to report the incident.
At that time, there were a lot of people who went to the police station to report the crime, and he lined up for three hours.
He said: “There were still several Spaniards who were like me, who were snatched their coats near Sol that day. The targets of these thieves felt random. Regardless of age and gender, there were mothers with children who came to report the crime. For girls, there are middle-aged men in their fifties and young girls in their twenties."
The bank card was stolen on the day the amount of swiping was huge
It is reported that the middle-aged Spanish man who was robbed that day had a bank card in his coat.
He immediately checked the account after being reminded by the police, and at that time 2,500 euros had been stolen.
Another young Spanish girl was stolen and used two bank cards, each of which was stolen and used more than 1,000 euros.
Xiao Ming said: "These thieves don't grab bags, they specialize in grabbing coats. The coats are too easy to be robbed in your hands. So when you go out, don't put valuables in your coat pockets."
Here, I would like to remind all of you overseas Chinese and Chinese students to take care of your belongings and protect your personal and property safety when you are abroad. If you encounter a robbery incident, you should report to the police as soon as possible.
If the bank card is robbed, the account must be frozen in time to avoid economic losses caused by theft.
