SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 23 (Juan Carlos Garcell, APLO) – A break-in at
the local bank in Nicaro, a mining town in eastern Cuba, the night of April 27
netted the perpetrators 123 thousand dollars and 1 million pesos.
Police say the thieves gained access to the building through the roof,
weakening the
concrete with a chemical substance and cutting the steel rebar with an
oxyacetylene torch.
Residents say they remember a similar theft two years ago at the "René
Ramos Latour" nickel processing plant, in which thieves cut into the safe
and took over 250 thousand pesos destined for the payroll. No one was ever
apprehended for that job.
