Chief of the Police Jose Armando Polanco Gomez criticized the fact that thieves caught stealing metal rods, billboards, crosses in cemeteries and other metal items are released in court with relative ease. He called for improvements in the work of crime-fighting bodies. As an example, he mentioned the recent case of three men caught stealing metal supports from a bridge, who were later released by a San Cristobal court. "The controls that we have as a society have to work. It is not possible that three who cut a cable, and the steel base of a bridge, that they were caught and sent to justice, and that they are not under arrest at Najayo or La Victoria today," said the police chief, as reported in El Caribe. Last week, El Caribe also denounced the theft of metal crosses from cemeteries.
The Senator for nearby Peravia, Wilton Guerrero has described the court of San Cristobal as a "flea market."
San Cristobal has been the scene of controversial judgments for several years, and in response, the Judicial Council of the Supreme Court of Justice announced it would investigate the actions of the Court of Appeals in San Cristobal and possible irregular releases of suspect criminals. Recently, prosecutor Daniel Miranda Villalona had publicly asked the Judicial Council to investigate the judges of the Court, given the many contentious releases of people linked to contract killing cases, drug trafficking and other crimes, as reported in El Dia.
