He highlighted that the situation becomes a little atypical, because now thefts are sometimes of items or too small amounts, although in the end it is an affect to the business. The high command added that they are in contact with the employers so that they in turn are on the slope or their workers, so that in the face of any situation that may arise from a criminal situation immediately be informed at 9-1-1. When questioned by the Secretary of Public Security and Municipal Transit (SSPyTM) about the possibility of a specific band that is generating these problems, he considered that there is no such thing, as sometimes these people take the items that are at hand, and withdraw from the place. In addition, he noted that for the time being the heists have been reported on time: “We have a good relationship with the establishments,” he said. Finally, Oscar Guinto Marmolejo said that when employees observe a person in suspicious attitude, they proceed to report it.
