He went to Colombia in search of peace and relaxation with his wife and children and what he found was the scare of his life. Rubens Sambueza , a Toluca player, was a victim of the underworld on his arrival in Barranquilla.
The Argentine midfielder decided to go to the Carnival city in Colombia to visit a brother and they would not let him get to the house when some antisocials intercepted them and stole some objects of courage.
Fabián Sambueza, Rubens’s brother, related what happened to Radio Blu Colombia .
“I rolled down the window to talk to a friend to help us with our bags and this happened. The building guard did not notice and did not see the thief, but the man who recorded the car may have done something. That’s a little bit painful because people don’t mess around, they don’t do anything. If I had been on the other side, if they are robbing someone, one tries, at least, I don’t know, to hit the one on the motorcycle ”, he said.
He also explained the possible modus operandi of the assailants, who are dedicated to observing people from the airport to commit crimes.
“Iban for the Rolex, they were going for that, they were surely following us. I found out that there is a band that is dedicated to that and they mark you from the airport. It was our turn to have a bad time. Sad for the welcome they give to our family. Thank God we are well and it did not happen to adults. Although we lost some valuables, the most important thing is that we are well ”, he concluded.
