The effective work of the relevant authorities and the active cooperation of the public led to the identification of citizens who had stolen a turbine from a farmer in the Santiago municipality of Contramaestre. The property was returned to the victim during a meeting with local residents, who recognized the police work and community participation in resolving the case.
This is the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Reservoir in the Santiago municipality of Contramaestre. The hydraulic structure is essential for agricultural activity, and this turbine, which farmer Yulianni Segura Quezada used to irrigate his crops, was stolen from here.
The police investigation determined that the suspects moved the turbine to a nearby area and then sold it to a citizen in the town of Baire.
Five citizens are involved in this burglary and receiving stolen goods. At the restitution ceremony for the recovered property, those present emphasized the need to raise the awareness of the people and community factors in dealing with events of this nature.
