In a troubling incident in Bauta, Artemisa, a man initially sought food assistance from a household, only to return later and steal a bicycle from the very family who had shown him kindness. The theft was recorded by the home's surveillance camera.
The victim, a young mother of three, shared the images on the Facebook group "RESIDENCIAL YUMURI BAUTA," appealing for help in locating the culprit. "This man goes around asking for food. I helped him, and he ended up stealing my green mountain bike. He didn't care that I have a baby and other kids," expressed Disnalda Calderón with frustration.
While the video footage is not entirely clear, Disnalda stated that the man's identity is recognizable. "As soon as I saw him, I knew he was the one who asked me for food," she explained.

Disnalda discovered that the thief has been going from house to house asking for food. He told one resident that he was from Cotorro, Havana. "He is unmistakable. Several people recognized him when I showed them the photo, because he asks for food and even confessed to someone that he used to be a thief, claiming he no longer steals. What a liar and a scoundrel. Please inform if you see him," she urged.
