Overview

  • A coordinated armed robbery at Amarilla Gas in Mar del Plata netted thieves around 25 million pesos and prompted police to collect testimonies and review surveillance to trace their escape route.
  • In Jiutepec, Morelos, officers arrested one suspect after an armed group overpowered guards at a used-car dealership and fled with six vehicles, recovering one VW Taos.
  • Salta’s police and Fiscalía Penal 6 dismantled a motorcycle-based street-robbery ring, detaining three suspects and seizing a stolen bike, cell phones and packages of marijuana.
  • Lethal attacks have struck both countries, from a night watchman shot after a prior grenade assault in Misiones to four men killed at dawn in a Guadalajara motorcycle workshop, with forensic teams gathering ballistic evidence.
  • Investigators in Greater Buenos Aires executed seven raids to dismantle a prison-led auto theft network, arresting seven members and confiscating multiple vehicles, weapons and equipment for altering VINs.
