91-Year-Old Bound and Robbed in Boulogne Home Invasion

The case forms part of a spate of violent break-ins targeting older residents in northern Greater Buenos Aires.

Overview

  • Two intruders forced a patio window grille around 3 a.m., entered the bedroom, tied and gagged the woman, and searched the house for about an hour.
  • The thieves stole cash, jewelry and personal items, with one report citing a police estimate of about $22,000 in savings taken, and even took her size‑41 sneakers.
  • The victim freed herself, removed the tape, contacted her family, and police and forensic teams responded to process the scene.
  • The investigation is being led by the San Isidro prosecutor’s office with Buenos Aires provincial police, who are collecting traces and reviewing neighborhood security cameras; no arrests were reported.
  • Family members decried recurring break-ins at the property, while local coverage places the case within a broader pattern of violent robberies against older adults in the area, with some reports referencing the so‑called Banda del Millón.
