A thief was mugged in Bogotá after his own failed attempt to rob a motorcycle, minutes after his assailant had robbed a shop and narrowly escaped capture, El Tiempo reported on 11 November. Police cameras recorded the incidents in the district of Engativá in north-western Bogotá. Initially the first thief sought to rob a motorcycle but was shot in the back by its owner who was a security guard. When he fell to the ground, another man approached and robbed him of his belongings before escaping. The second rascal was identified as having robbed a local business "minutes before" with an accomplice whom he ditched as they failed to escape on a motorbike. The accomplice was caught and almost lynched by locals who set the bike on fire, though police arrived to break up the mêlée. Local businesses insisted on more police presence in a district where thefts and assaults were happening "at all hours of the day," the daily stated.
