Two Safes Stolen From Camioneros Mutual in La Plata as Insider Role Is Probed

Investigators are testing an internal‑collusion hypothesis after disabled alarms plus unforced access were reported.

Overview

  • The theft was discovered early Tuesday after the long holiday weekend when the night guard found an office ransacked.
  • Security systems were found damaged and there were no signs of forced entry at the building on Calle 40 between 4 and 5.
  • Both iron safes reportedly held documentation such as promissory notes, checkbooks and ministerial agreements, with any cash presence unconfirmed.
  • At least one safe weighs about 80 kilograms, prompting a search for neighborhood witnesses and a review of nearby cameras to trace the removal.
  • Fiscalía 3 ordered forensic work and continues to gather statements, with no arrests or identified getaway vehicle as the case draws comparisons to a similar 2024 robbery in General Rodríguez.
