Robbery incidents on the increase?

JIMENA We were told this morning that a lady who lives out in the campo had visitors earlier in the day. Apparently, they were in a white van and took something from her front yard. She was there but was unable to get the van's number plate down before they disappeared. This incident was not yet reported to the police (Guardia Civil 956 640 009; Policía Local 956 640 064), as we were able to ascertain a few minutes ago These kind of incidents are on the increase, if news reports are to be believed. As we have warned in the past, the good times are over: you can't leave your door unlocked any more, alas. But any such incidents needs to be reported, and not just for insurance purposes: the more such denuncias, the better policing we should expect.
