At least a hundred people who participated in an ecological walk in the Alto de Piedra Galana sector, among the corregimiento of San Cristóbal and San Antonio de Prado, Medellín, were victims of a massive robbery.
According to one of the complainants, the event occurred last Sunday, February 27, in this recognized ecological zone in the west of the capital of Antioquia.
According to one of the complainants, a group of between 60 and 100 people was walking in a line along a narrow path, when they were surprised by four armed men, who were waiting to strip them of their belongings.
“Four hooded men intimidated them with guns and machetes, stealing all of their belongings. among them bags, backpacks, telephones, communication radios, wedding rings, earrings etc.”, said Davier Montes, who is also co-founder of Trekking San Cristóbal, one of the tourist agencies that operates in the area.
The man told the regional channel that one of the guides managed to throw his cell phone into a bush, so once the theft occurred, they were able to alert their colleagues, who in turn made the respective complaint to the authorities.

“Thank God there were no physical damages to the robbed people, however, the robberies were quite serious due to all the valuable elements that were stolen. We strongly reject this type of action, in the five years that we have been doing hiking routes in Medellín and its surroundings, an event as serious as this had never happened to us,” Montes said.
The complainants hope that the authorities can speed up the investigative process as soon as possible.
So far, no statement has been made by the Metropolitan Police of the Aburrá Valley on this case.
