Unfortunately, new acts of vandalism occurred at the NURR, the ULA Trujillo. An air conditioner was stolen from the Telephone Exchange, located on the ground floor of building D, of the University Village.
Furthermore, very close by, on the first floor of building F, specifically in the reference room of the Aquiles Nazoa Library, they looted other thermal adaptation equipment.
Lawyer Leonardo Cegarra issued the balance sheet and indicated that the recording of the aforementioned events occurred on November 6, with the respective reports being prepared by the Surveillance Unit and the Legal Services Unit, with notification to the Vice-Rector’s Office.
In addition to this, during mid-October they detected that 36 meters of electrical cable number 20 were stolen by unidentified people from the nursery of the Casa Carmona Dr. Antonio Luis Cárdenas, he indicated.
Speed and justice
The university filed complaints in each case, like other previous ones, in the competent agencies, including the Public Ministry, Trujillo State Police Corps and CICPC.
“This serves as an opportunity to call for a review of the complaints presented in recent years about the vulnerability of regional Uland spaces by unscrupulous subjects, who have attacked institutional assets, property and real estate, including due to their actions, have interfered with the normal development of academic and administrative activities. From the core we advocate for full speed and justice,” said Cegarra. PRESS ULA-NURR / Gilcely Linares (CNP 15.221).

**Interview with Lawyer Leonardo Cegarra on Recent Vandalism at ULA Trujillo**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Cegarra. To start off, can you summarize the recent acts of vandalism that have occurred at the University of the Andes, Trujillo (ULA Trujillo)?
**Leonardo Cegarra:** Thank you for having me. Yes, unfortunately, we’ve seen a disturbing increase in vandalism at ULA Trujillo. Most recently, on November 6, we recorded a theft of an air conditioner from the Telephone Exchange on the ground floor of Building D. Just a short distance away, in the reference room of the Aquiles Nazoa Library in Building F, thermal adaptation equipment was also taken. This follows an earlier incident in mid-October where 36 meters of electrical cable were stolen from the nursery at Casa Carmona Dr. Antonio Luis Cárdenas.
**Interviewer:** That sounds quite alarming. What actions have been taken by the university in response to these incidents?
**Leonardo Cegarra:** Following each incident, we have promptly filed complaints with the relevant authorities, including the Public Ministry, the Trujillo State Police Corps, and the CICPC. Our Legal Services and Surveillance Units have also prepared reports to ensure there’s a clear record of these events. It’s crucial that we document these acts of vandalism and hold those responsible accountable.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned the vulnerability of these spaces. Why do you think these acts of vandalism are so prevalent at the university?
**Leonardo Cegarra:** This ongoing issue highlights a severe vulnerability in our regional institutions. The systemic lack of security has made the university an attractive target for unscrupulous individuals. These vulnerabilities not only threaten our assets but also disrupt the normal functioning of academic and administrative activities, impacting students and faculty alike.
**Interviewer:** What measures do you believe should be taken to enhance security at ULA Trujillo?
**Leonardo Cegarra:** We advocate for a comprehensive review of the security measures in place. This includes increasing on-site security personnel, improving surveillance systems, and establishing better coordination with local law enforcement. Additionally, fostering a culture of community vigilance among students and staff can help deter potential vandals. We need to ensure that justice is not just a hope, but a reality, and that these incidents do not continue unchecked.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insightful comments, Mr. Cegarra. It’s clear that immediate actions and long-term strategies are essential to protect the university’s assets.
**Leonardo Cegarra:** Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue. Together, we can work towards creating a safer environment for our community.
