The daughter of Lucía Etxebarría was the victim of a robbery in broad daylight, on June 2, in the Plaza Legazpi in Madrid, as the writer herself announced through a thread published on her personal Twitter account. .

As he recounted, the young woman was waiting for some friends in that square at 2:00 p.m. “Two men took her cell phone and a chain she was wearing around her neck.”

As the award-winning writer narrated through social networks, her daughter has a bruise on her neck as a result of the robbery, but she was quick enough to react. She “she kicked” one of the thieves, and then she “began to scream as if she were possessed.” That caught the attention of the neighbors who called the police.

“Two agents appeared, a man and a woman. The two boys ran away. The agents ran away as if it were a sprint. The boys had time to throw away the ID and credit card that went with the mobile, in the bag, but they were detained,” continued Etxebarría.

Etxebarría explained that the police officers who came to the scene were very good to her daughter. “They were extraordinarily kind to her, who was very scared,” he said. And this Twitter thread is dedicated to those agents, in gratitude for the treatment received.

The writer took the opportunity to add that she has lived in this neighborhood for years and that “she has been robbed about four times and my house has been robbed”, and in all cases the police had been very kind to her. Recounting her pleasant personal experience with the police force, the winner of the Planet Award for A Balanced Miracle added a request from her.

“If someone at the police station can send them to those two agents, I would appreciate it, it would be very good. Let’s see if this thread goes as viral as the video of the person who said that the police were dangerous, ”she requested.
