Cuenca has boosted police presence for
daytime hours, but what about after dark?
Business owners are clamoring for more
police patrols at night.
At a rally this week, a business owner
named Jorge Zeas stated that $40,000
in merchandise was stolen from a cell-phone store
on Luis Cordero during a 15-minute
night-time spree by thieves.
It wouldn't have happened, said Zeas,
if police patrols were active in the area
after hours.

The car washing scam in Cuenca.
Cuenca's Citizen Guard is cracking down
on car wash scammers who ply their
dubious trade against motorists at
busy intersections.
This week four knives and a firearm
were confiscated near Av. Primero de
Mayo and Av. Las Américas from
car washers working the area.
Police have been receiving complaints
that some car wash scammers have been
threatening motorists who refuse to
pay for the service. Complainants also
state that the scammers are impeding the
flow of traffic on some avenidas.
Under its new mayor, Cuenca is also
cracking down on unlicensed vendors
who sell goods near busy mercados
to the detriment of legit vendors who
have rented space in the mercados.
