Security Guard Turns Thief: Bogotá Apartment Robbery Caught on Camera

Bogotá Security Guard Implicated in Apartment Robbery A shocking incident unfolded in Bogotá, Colombia, this past weekend, highlighting a breach of trust and security. A resident of the Edificio Cestil H building in northern Bogotá returned home to discover her apartment had been ransacked. Upon reviewing security footage, she made a startling discovery: the building's security guard was complicit in the crime. The video clearly shows the guard allowing two individuals access to the apartment building. Later footage shows the guard entering the apartment himself, searching through the rooms, and then leaving, allowing the thieves to exit. The victim, whose identity is being withheld for safety reasons, stated, "It was so shocking. He even treated me badly while searching for things." The thieves made off with an estimated 30 million pesos in jewelry, cash, and credit cards, which were subsequently used for purchases totaling over 10 million pesos. Authorities are investigating the incident, and the security company has yet to issue a statement. The case raises serious concerns about security protocols in apartment buildings and the importance of thorough background checks for security personnel. The quick thinking of the victim in preserving the security footage was crucial in bringing this crime to light.
