Theft in school for foreign students
HAVANA, Cuba - July 6 (José Antonio
Fornaris, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- There was a theft Sunday night at the
Salvador Allende school for foreign students
in the outskirts of Havana, and authorities
reportedly consider any incidents related
to the school a sensitive matter, because
they have not divulged what precisely was
taken, or even acknowledged that there was
an incident.
However, at 9:30 p.m. Sunday there were
one unmarked and four patrol cars outside
the school's gate to Vento Avenue. A passing
policeman said there had been shots fired
inside the school.
A school employee who wished to remain
unnamed confirmed there had been a theft,
adding that such incidents at the school
are not unusual, but that authorities have
issued a directive that the thieves be apprehended
away from the school to keep the students
in the dark.
The employee pointed out that in a previous
incident, involving the theft of hams and
cheeses from the school's stock room, the
thieves were not apprehended until they
were eight kilometers away, under the Calabazar
bridge.
The school currently houses several hundred
students from Venezuela and Bolivia who
are preparing to enter the university.
