Overview
- After a woman was ambushed for her Kawasaki in Haedo and assailants fired more than a dozen shots, police used the bike’s tracker to locate a Hurlingham house, detained two suspects and seized the stolen motorcycle, the weapon and at least 17 phones under prosecutor Claudio Oviedo.
- Santa Fe investigators reported a new homicide in barrio Cabal, where Mauro Adrián Chamorro, 36, was gunned down by attackers on a motorcycle, with homicide teams canvassing the area and collecting video evidence.
- In Rosario, the PDI executed eight simultaneous raids ordered by prosecutor Patricio Saldutti for the March killing of Agustín Gabriel Rosales, arresting two men and seizing cash, phones and cannabis plants, with court hearings expected next week.
- Cases highlight vulnerable victims, including a violent home invasion against an 88- and 92-year-old couple in Quilmes Oeste who were bound and robbed of cash and jewelry, and a reported stun-device attack on a young couple in San Pedro, Jujuy.
- The surge aligns with insurance data showing motorcycle theft reports rose from 24,131 in 2021 to 42,333 in 2023 nationwide, as officers also leverage phone geolocation in other cases such as the arrest of a suspect who robbed a female driver in Miramar.
