‘Perdoname, Te Tengo Que Robar’: Robbery Caught on Camera at Mar del Plata Gelateria

Police have not identified the suspect, according to investigators reviewing the shop’s security video.

El delincuente pidió disculpas y se llevó el efectivo ante la mirada de la empleada.

Overview

  • Security footage shows a man entering the gelateria on Avenida Constitución al 6200 on Tuesday evening and calmly approaching the counter.
  • The robber apologized to the employee with the phrase “Perdoname, pero te tengo que robar” before moving behind the counter to access the register.
  • No weapon was displayed and no physical violence was reported, as the visibly distressed employee remained seated during the theft.
  • The thief took the day’s takings from the cash register and left the premises on foot, with no customers present at the time.
  • The shop owner described the incident as “atípica,” and local coverage noted a more violent holdup at a Grido branch about two weeks earlier in the city.
