Two Americans Assaulted, Robbed Cuenca

11 years ago

This is a very interesting report about two Americans assaulted and robbed in Cuenca near Parque Calderon. One mistake the female victim made in my opinion was fighting for her purse which resulted in her injuries. Also, it appears their cellphone was stolen which is one of the most popular items to be stolen in Ecuador. I highly recommend that individuals should purchase pepper spray at a minimum but practice with it and have it on your person at all times - not in your pocket or purse. Also notice how the couple reported that the police did not seem interested. This assault was in the middle of the day.
