Panaji: Three women tourists — two Russians and a German — have complained of robbery and burglary in two popular beach villages in Goa. The Russians were robbed near Calangute beach, and the German near Anjuna beach.
Nataliya Firppovskaia, a Russian national, complained that some people broke into her rented room near Calangute and stole three mobile phones and her passport. Vera C, a Russian, said an unknown person snatched her bag, which had $2,000 and her passport, at Calangute.
German national, Scheao Hebert, told police that her home in Anjuna was broken into, and cash of Rs60,000 and ¤5,000 were stolen. All three robberies occurred on Friday night.
Calangute beach, where the two Russians were robbed, is 35km south of Panaji. Anjuna, where the German complained of being burgled, is 25km north of the state capital.
