Anderson Méndez Collantes

Anderson Méndez Collantes is a Venezuelan national who has gained notoriety for repeatedly committing thefts in Lima, Peru. Having been previously convicted for aggravated theft in 2023, where he stole an iPhone from a Mexican tourist, he was given a suspended sentence that allowed him to avoid imprisonment. Despite the legal stipulations against reoffending, Méndez continued to engage in criminal activities, disguising himself as a delivery person to target unsuspecting pedestrians. His modus operandi involved using a motorcycle to swiftly approach and snatch mobile phones from victims before fleeing the scene.
