Police Make Arrests in Attacks on Elderly Women in Córdoba and Villa Elisa

Prosecutors expand searches using community footage to pursue remaining suspects.

Overview

  • In Villa Elisa, three masked intruders tied up a 74-year-old woman and fled with cash, a notebook and tools after entering through the front door.
  • Police reviewing local cameras identified a black Volkswagen Bora, intercepted it nearby and detained a 32-year-old woman from Lomas de Zamora as the suspected driver.
  • Officers seized two phones and a DNI from the car, and the detainee said she had transported three men to the home, reporting that two were Chilean, according to police.
  • La Plata’s UFIJ No. 5, led by prosecutor Juan Menucci, took over the Villa Elisa case and ordered new raids and seizures to locate the other participants, while the victim was reported out of danger.
  • In Córdoba, a 23-year-old was arrested two days after allegedly robbing and sexually assaulting a 75-year-old in her apartment, with a neighbor’s photo aiding identification and a formal abuse complaint filed as the victim received support at the Polo de la Mujer.
