Colombia hunts underwear robbers

[Ms DD]

I blame the pervading influence of the American junk culture hegemony. Or possibly pervy Eurolefties on holiday. Either way it's unlikely to be Islamic fundamentalists. But lets not rule anything out shall we ?

 

 

Anyway - strange and bizarre story. Can't be a bundle of laughs for those robbed in this fashion (apart from the ones who don't wear any - that'll turn the tables).

 

Colombia hunts underwear robbers

 

Police in Colombia are searching for members of a gang who target women and steal their underwear in public.

A succession of women, mainly young women and students, have been attacked in the western city of Pereira, often at bus stops early in the morning.

 

The gang has become known across the city as the "knicker robbers". They do not usually hurt their victims, instead demanding only underwear and valuables.

 

Police in Pereira have described the gang as "sexual maniacs".

 

The attackers often strike as women wait at bus stops between the hours of 0500 and 0700, police said.

 

On other occasions they wait for their victims to leave work or a university campus later in the day.

 

Carlos Felipe Cordoba, a spokesman for the governor of Pereira, told Colombian media that police and other local and intelligence groups were working to identify and catch the gang.

 

Their "inexplicable" conduct, he said, was already being analysed by psychologists and sexual experts.

This reminds me to wixii aan ku maqli jiray ka dhici jiray Isgoyska Sanca [the intersection was between afarta degmo of Kaaraan, Yaaqshiid, Huriwaa and C/casiis].

 

Dagaaladda kahor that isgoys was infamous for gangs gabdho garbasaaraha, sifaleetiga iyo goorgoradaha ka dafi jiray. Yes, goorgorad, particularly kuwa expensive ahaan jiray waagaas.

 

Kuwa isla shaqeeyo ayee ahayeen, oo mid ama laba intuu gabadha kor u qaado, kan kalena si sahlan goorgorada ugu siibaa. Markaa iyagoo dhoolacadeynaayo sii dhaqayayaan.

 

Ciyaal Siyo ayaa la dhihi jiray kuwaas.
