Overview

• In San Miguel de Tucumán, a man who threatened a motorcyclist with a metal replica pistol was charged with attempted aggravated robbery and illegal firearm possession.
• Police from the GEAM unit detained the suspect minutes later after 911 alerts, recovering the replica and finding a concealed .32-caliber revolver.
• In a separate Tucumán case, a suspect caught stealing a spare wheel with a “punta en T” tool threatened the owner, and prosecutors charged him as a co-author of robbery with a weapon.
• A judge granted preventive detention for 40 days in both Tucumán proceedings as investigators seek to identify an accomplice who fled in the spare-wheel case.
• Separately in western Greater Buenos Aires, Comando Patrulla officers arrested a 15-year-old after a motorcycle robbery, with the juvenile case handled by Prosecutor Pablo Antonio Insúa and searches ongoing for an accomplice.
