Overview

• In the early hours of August 17, an 88-year-old resident of Calle 24 in Berisso fired multiple .22-caliber warning shots when two burglars broke windows and tried to force a rear door.
• Officers from the Comando Patrullas de Berisso responded to a 911 call and conducted a perimeter search but did not locate the suspects.
• Police seized a T.A.L.A. .22 revolver from the homeowner because he could not produce legal documentation for its possession.
• Fiscal Juan Pablo Mennucci of UFI N°5 in La Plata has ordered forensic examinations at the house and the collection of nearby security-camera footage to reconstruct the incident.
• No injuries were reported and the two alleged intruders remain unidentified and at large as the investigation continues.
