Inter de Bogotá Captain Larry Vásquez Robbed in Bogotá After Copa BetPlay Match

Internacional de Bogotá captain Larry Vásquez was the victim of a theft on the night of November 10, shortly after his team’s Copa BetPlay semifinal first-leg match against América de Cali.

The incident occurred between 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. local time while the midfielder was dining at a restaurant near the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo.

Vásquez, 34, detailed the event through a series of videos posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday, November 11. According to his account, thieves broke the rear window of his vehicle while it was parked, gaining access to the cabin to reach a suitcase he had stored in the trunk. The stolen items included a laptop, an iPad, a portable gaming console, his national identification card, and bank cards, Semana reported.

The theft took place in the immediate aftermath of Internacional de Bogotá’s 1-2 loss to América de Cali. During that match, the capital side had taken an initial lead through a Fabrician Sanguinetti goal before América secured the comeback victory with strikes from Marlon Torres and Edson Tortolero, Futbolred noted.

Vásquez emphasized that while he and his companions were unharmed, the loss of his personal belongings—specifically the digital information contained on his devices—frustrates him greatly. Obviously, we are all well, everything is okay, there was nothing to regret besides the material, but it is a call to be alert,” he said in his social media address, as documented by Win Sports.

The professional athlete has since taken precautions regarding the potential misuse of his identity. He issued a public warning to his followers and associates to exercise caution if they receive any suspicious requests or communications under his name.

Vásquez is currently in communication with local authorities to file a formal report and attempt to recover the stolen items, which he noted contain important data related to his professional work and academic studies. Despite the incident, the midfielder continues to prepare with his squad for the return leg of the semifinal series, scheduled to take place in Cali.

“Pa’lante, we are going to keep working. All that is recovered. Thank God we have health and life to continue moving forward.”
