Overview

  • Traffic police stopped a 23-year-old identified as Lautaro Abel G. on Avenida Circunvalación and confirmed he was not a member of the Santa Fe force despite wearing police-style gear.
  • Officers seized a replica firearm, a correaje, handcuffs and uniform pieces with a provincial police patch and a Bomberos insignia, then took him to Comisaría 12ª and impounded his motorcycle.
  • In a separate operation in barrio Tablada, PDI and GIRI teams detained Facundo Pablo O. (33) and Antonela Marilin V. (32) under an order from prosecutor Carlos Covani.
  • A drone spotted the woman as she tried to flee through internal passageways and over walls, allowing officers to locate and arrest her quickly.
  • Searches at homes on Grandoli al 3800 and Biedma recovered clothing and footwear investigators say match CCTV from armed robberies, including an incident at a clothing store reported last Friday.
