Television crews at the Pan American Games had equipment stolen this week from the compound of the National Stadium, the site of Friday’s opening ceremony, heightening concerns about crime at the tournament hosting over 6,800 athletes.
A demonstrator paints graffiti on a billboard advertising the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games, during protests marking the fourth anniversary of anti-government protests, in Santiago, Chile, Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. The opening ceremony for the XIX Pan American Games will take place in Santiago on Oct. 20. The National Stadium of Santiago stands days before the start of the Pan-American Games in Santiago, Chile, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. The Games start Oct. 20.
“Chile’s police have been up to this. In less than 24 hours they found cameras that were stolen from the region of the National Stadium,” Mayne-Nicholls said in a video posted on his social media channels. The Pan American Games, the largest multisport event in the Americas, are held one year before the Olympics. Chile is hosting for the first time, with the tournament running from Oct. 10 to Nov. 5.
The country’s government said crime increased 44% in 2022 in comparison with the previous year. Official figures also showed homicides doubled between 2016 and 2022, from 3.6 for every 100,000 residents to 7.
