La Plata Building Break-Ins Tied by CCTV as Prosecutors Open Aggravated Robbery Case

Investigators are reviewing footage to identify two intruders who remain at large.

Overview

  • Security cameras captured two hooded men forcing entry into a building on 45 between 30 and 31, where they kicked in a ground-floor door and stole a laptop, over 1.5 million pesos, and other items.
  • Footage from another building on 41 between 16 and 17 shows the same pair breaking the glass entrance, attempting to reach the garage, damaging a camera, and fleeing after one suspect’s hood fell and revealed his face.
  • The case has been formally classified as aggravated robbery and assigned to the on-duty UFI in La Plata, which is analyzing recordings and neighbor testimony.
  • Police responded to a 911 call after the first break-in but did not locate the suspects, who escaped and have not been identified.
  • Residents report growing fear and urge stronger security after a series of recent attempts, including a reported incident near Avenida 44 and 28 targeting bikes and motorcycles in a building’s ground floor.
