Tourists staying in several hostels in Bogota's La Candelaria district have been robbed by armed men at least seven times in the past eight months.
An American tourist was even sexually assaulted with a gun.
Last week armed men seized a hostel and robbed eight guests. A female hostel guest was sexually assaulted by the robbers.
Some victims claim that police drove them to the airport without filing official reports about the robbery and the alleged sexual assault.
