CONT

Depuis quelques années, on apprend toujours plus souvent dans les nouvelles que le tourisme criminel, en Suisse, est clairement en augmentation : des personnes isolées ou des groupes établis à l'étranger cambriolent appartements et entreprises, braquent stations-service, boutiques et magasins et volent bagages, sacs et porte-monnaie.

CONT

El capitán […] reveló que la pareja de estafadores llegó por vía regular al territorio nacional […], y que el móvil del viaje habría sido practicar "turismo delictivo". Es decir, permanecer en [el país transandino] durante algún tiempo (por lo general no más de dos meses), y realizar desfalcos con tarjetas de crédito clonadas, mandar lo recaudado al viejo continente y seguir el viaje hacia otros destinos.
