Wednesday night passed normally in the Magic Box. The United States and Italy disputed their tie on the Arantxa Sánchez Vicario track before just a hundred spectators. However, despite the few fans who concentrated on the site, the press area was still crowded. The journalists work there piece by piece and they stayed there until more than five in the morning.

With the end of the last game, the press left the taxi facilities that were parked at the same door and in their own vehicles. Precisely some of these journalists who walked to his car to return home, were assaulted upon arrival. When checking that one or more wheels were cracked , the robbers took advantage of the moment to pounce on them and snatch different technical equipment such as television cameras, laptops and mobile phones.

In total, four people have been assaulted since the tournament started last Monday . Everyone walked alone to their cars and carried backpacks or bags. One of them managed to get into his vehicle and avoid the assault, as he told himself during the morning of Thursday. Apparently, the modus operandi would consist of controlling the vehicles that arrive early in the morning, identify their owner and assault him late at night during his return to it, taking advantage of the darkness of the area.

It is not the first time that complaints of this type occur in the Magic Box, located in the San Fermín neighborhood. It is common that during the 1000 Masters in Madrid, which is celebrated in May, fans, workers and journalists themselves raise their voices in the face of the continuous thefts that occur in vehicles. In addition, this same situation was repeated during the time when Real Madrid basketball played their matches in the Usera district.

On the Camino de Perales, the artery that runs over the main façade of the enclosure, National Police units are grouped these days, both on horseback and on foot. However, the security reinforcement has not been able to prevent the assailants from taking advantage of another massive event to commit a crime again.
