Overview

• Carolina Pérez’s high-end Trek competition bicycle was found abandoned early Monday at Comisaría 12° less than 24 hours after two motochorros seized it during her Sunday morning training on Route 226 in Mar del Plata.
• The recovered bike is missing its safety lights and integrated computer unit, components valued at several hundred dollars that thieves removed before abandoning the frame.
• Pérez filmed the armed robbery in real time, and the widespread sharing of her video on social media directed and pressured law enforcement to intensify the search.
• Police of Buenos Aires Province coordinated units from Comisarías Sexta and 12° alongside other precincts to track leads generated by Pérez’s 911 call and filed complaint.
• The perpetrators remain unidentified and investigations continue amid a wider crackdown on rising armed “motochorro” robberies targeting professional cyclists and high-end equipment.
