HAVANA, August 29 (Juan Carlos Linares) Crime is on the increase in the
Santos Suárez neighborhood of Havana; even installed water supply pipes
are fair game for thieves.
Several residents woke up Saturday morning to dry faucets. Later in the day,
they figured out the reason for the drought: someone had taken a number of
pipes that used to supply water to the neighborhood.
Residents speculate that the thieves must have been professionals, saying
that no one heard or saw anything suspicious.
In general, area residents complain of an increase in crime.
"This used to be a quiet neighborhood, but in the last few months,
anything that can be taken is taken, clothing, auto parts, furniture, anything,"
said an elderly resident.
