London police qualifies Chileans as the most skilled thieves they must face

Together with having the world's largest pourer in the world and being a world polo champions, Chileans can now add a new recognition ... although it will hardly be proud: being the best porterists of the old continent.

This is revealed by a report from the Canadian magazine Vice, which accompanied a London Police team during their patrol work, infiltrated as passersby in the city center.

But it's not about any thieves.The Oxford, Recent and Bond (ORB) street squad follows the trail of highly organized bands where, without a doubt, Chileans are the most skilled.They are followed by bands from Eastern Europe and Africa, such as Romanians, Bulgarians and Algerians.Only then come the English thieves.

The news was extensively covered by the British media, such as the Daily Mail, International Business Times or The Times.

Why are Chileans so good thieves?Darren Bond explains it.

"They work with great intelligence.They do not follow anyone but only to the wealthiest tourists, and operate in interchangeable equipment of 3 to 6 people, usually of medium age.They are dressed in being families or executive groups so as not to attract attention.This allows them to enter hotels without asking questions, sitting, having breakfast and then going out with suitcases, computers and other things.They are very difficult to track.They will stay here with a 6 -month visa and then go touring Europe before returning to London.We have to review weeks of security cameras recordings just to identify which members of these Chilean bands are.We have to be permanently creating information networks, ”says the policeman.

Bond explains that the usual method of these bands is to choose a victim leaving a store or a hotel.Then they will follow it during the day, replacing each other and keeping as close as possible while waiting for an opportunity.Then they will act when the person is testing a couple of shoes, he feels in a cafeteria or wearing a mechanical ladder.

“The mechanical stairs are excellent ambushes because being narrow they prevent them from pursuing them.Additionally, an accomplice woman will drop her bags to access to close the exit.So those who are on the stairs will naturally stumble against each other, creating the perfect chaos atmosphere, ”he says.

The hands of a thief

The intelligence of Chileans for crime seems to have no limits.Recently, the British police arrested two Chilean women using burkas (the traditional Islamic veil), while robbed wealthy Arab tourists in Park Lane and Mayfair.

“Usually security guards and store dependents do not bother median age dressed in Islamic costumes.This allows them to approach and drop the edges of their dresses on your shopping bag to take what you carry inside.The women we caught were working with two or three men who performed another robbery, but they passed information continuously between them.When arrested, women had a bag with 130.000 euros (87 million Chilean pesos), 20.000 pounds (18 million pesos), more gold jewels and diamonds.As I said, the Chileans do not walk with girls, ”concludes Bond.

So efficient are that while 70% of the apprehensions correspond to Romanians or Bulgarians and 10% of Algerians, Chileans only reach 5% of arrests.

London officers say that Chilean thieves are so aguerrido, that many of them have a lot of scars in their hands, obtained while trying to get things out of protected shopping bags with shaving razors.

The work is also dangerous.Only in recent weeks, Bond himself received a punch that started a couple of teeth.In addition, a colleague of him was unconscious while trying to capture a thief from Eastern Europe who finally fled in a car.

Even so, the police do not want to create an adverse feeling towards Chilean citizens or other nationalities.

“I would never say that if you come from certain countries you are here to steal.That is simply not true, but trends (in their countries of origin) are clear, ”he says.
