The residents of Brasilia Street in Arrecife have reported this Monday the theft of the main door of the building's entrance. As they have communicated to La Voz, the theft took place last Friday afternoon.

The citizens, through the community administrator, have filed a complaint with the National Police of the capital for the theft of the furniture. The neighbors have told the newspaper that the alleged perpetrators of the robbery could be "the squatters of an abandoned building" located in front of their homes, a block that has been occupied for more than a year. Although they have highlighted in the complaint that "they do not know if it is an act carried out intentionally or derived from an incident", they have emphasized.

Furthermore, according to their words, it is not the first time they have suffered robberies in the building. One of the neighbors was a victim of the theft of his wallet and another had to witness the theft of his baby stroller, they highlighted in the complaint.

According to the testimony of the citizens, about 15 people live in the ruined building and disturb them with their altercations. "Last Tuesday there was a fight between a couple in which the Police had to intervene," one of the residents stressed.

In the opinion of the witnesses, the building is used for "drug use", actions to which are added assistance for overdoses, uncivil activities carried out by the squatters, such as throwing garbage out the windows towards the public road.
