In the lawless state of Venezuela, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Falcón was attacked in mid rehearsal by two armed men. Players were forced to go down to the theatre basement while the intruders cleaned out their pockets and wallets. They made off with cash, and around 50 mobile phones.

There are no reports of injuries and no instruments were taken.

Report here in Spanish.
