Rosario Police Detain Uber Driver After Diverted Ride With 13-Year-Old Toward Funes

Prosecutors ordered seizure of the driver's phone with the car as part of a probe into repeated diversion reports in the city.

Overview

  • The girl was picked up at Club Los Caranchos for a short trip home, but the driver headed west toward Funes via the RosarioCórdoba highway as her mother tracked the route in the app and called 911 after receiving no in‑app replies.
  • The vehicle eventually returned to the Rosario destination, where Comando Radioeléctrico officers detained the driver.
  • Fiscal Andrea Vega of the MPA ordered the seizure of the driver's cellphone and his Fiat Uno to examine trip data and determine intent.
  • Police reported the 13‑year‑old was in good health and that no threats or physical aggression were detected.
  • Local coverage identified the detained driver as Aver Daniel S. R., and this case follows a similar August incident in which another stopped car yielded a machete in the trunk, while no company statement had been issued at last report.
