Overview

  • Five members of the so-called banda de la silla de ruedas disguised one accomplice in a wheelchair and carried a delivery-service backpack to bypass suspicion
  • Once inside, the group brandished firearms, threatened employees and customers and dragged a client before looting display cases
  • Security footage shows the robbery took place minutes after 10 a.m. on Avenida 844 in San Francisco Solano, with the cleanout completed in under two minutes
  • Authorities recovered the grey Toyota Corolla used for the escape in Florencio Varela but have not arrested any of the perpetrators
  • Local merchants are demanding stepped-up patrols and security measures after a series of commando-style raids on small businesses
