The company opened its doors offering 56 bulletproof vests for 20,000 pesos a day (about 6 dollars), but the promotion is as follows: The first day is not charged. This was explained by the local administrator, Catalina Mejía, a The fm.

Mejía explains that in recent months, the number of hired badbadins has increased – at least in the media – in the most recent case, a Venezuelan citizen was stolen after conducting a banking transaction. Because of this situation, they decided to create the company to provide a little more security to people.
