Ger­man tourist Ti­lo Kruse, 20, said he was robbed to­day, day three of a 16-day pil­grim­age from  To­co to Ica­cos.

Al­though he did not say which part of the coun­try he was in when he was robbed, he said he spent the night in Saly­bia and be­gan walk­ing again this morn­ing. 

"I don't want to make this video but I have to be­cause I want to be hon­est with you guys. To­day I got robbed," Kruse be­gan in his lat­est video. He then went in­to de­tail ex­plain­ing that two men ran out of the bush­es and be­gan as­sault­ing him. He said they wres­tled on the road un­til a pass­ing car picked him up and took him to the po­lice sta­tion to make a re­port. 

Kruse has been walk­ing to high­light the fact there are more good peo­ple in the coun­try than bad. He has been re­ly­ing sole­ly on the kind­ness of strangers to give him food, mon­ey and a place to spend the night.

"I still con­tin­ue my jour­ney. I still be­lieve most peo­ple in Trinidad are good. There def­i­nite­ly are some crim­i­nals out there and I don't want those crim­i­nals to ru­in the rep­u­ta­tion of good Trinida­di­ans," Kruse said.

On Tues­day, To­co po­lice told Guardian Me­dia they were ac­tive­ly look­ing out for Kruse. 

Head of the To­co Po­lice Sta­tion Sgt Chris Ed­wards said they were look­ing out for Kruse through pa­trols in the area. 

He added that when the back­pack­er ex­its To­co he will com­mu­ni­cate with his coun­ter­parts in the next dis­trict about what Kruse is do­ing as well.
