Reportan hurtos en zonas golpeadas por el terremoto: ladrones se aprovechan de los damnificados para robar sus pertenencias

Following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake on the morning of August 10, 2026, residents and business owners in severely affected areas—particularly Cali in Valle del Cauca and Pereira in Risaralda—are facing an outbreak of thefts.

Criminals have capitalized on the vulnerability of the disaster-stricken population, targeting the remaining belongings of individuals who were already displaced or suffering property damage from the seismic event. The illicit activity compounds the crisis for local communities struggling to recover from the disaster's immediate aftermath.
