A father's worst nightmare came true when two thieves
stole his car with his 10-year-old son inside
.
The relief came a while later, when the baby was released safely about 10 kilometers from the place where the assault began.
The boy was released in Engineer Budge, Lomas de Zamora, after two armed robbers stole the car from his driving father, who was working while his son
slept in the back seats of the car
.
The incident began at the intersection of Roosevelt streets and General Paz Avenue, on the border between the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Villa Riachuelo and the Buenos Aires town of Villa Celina.
Police sources informed
Télam
that there is a remisería in which two men entered and pretended to be passengers.
They got into the vehicle, a Renault Sandero Stepway model, and after a few meters they forced the driver to get off.
The thieves escaped at full speed.
Several minutes later, when they noticed the baby's presence, they abandoned him on Giachino and Soldano Brito streets, already in Budge.
They left him on the street, without shoes and without a shirt
.
The baby was assisted by neighbors in the area.
Florencio, the boy's father, declared on
Telenoche
that they live together and that when he needs someone to take care of him, he leaves him with a neighbor.
That day he had taken the car to the garage and, as it was already late,
he was unable to return his son to the house.
So he decided to take it in the car during his work.
"On Tuesday I came from the mechanic because the car was bad, I put my son to work with me because I couldn't leave him at home," he said.
The man said that the assailants hit him in the face and hanged him: "They grabbed me by the neck and they wouldn't even let me speak.
I told him my son was in the back, but they wouldn't let me speak
and they hit me with the butt (of the weapon) ", he detailed.
"
I did not know what to do, I went crazy.
I did not know whether to dial 911 or run
. I still ran and did not reach," said Florencio, who said that it took about 50 minutes until he found out about his son.
"I found out through friends who told me they were posting on Facebook and there I was calm," he said.
Meanwhile, little Sebastián said that he was scared, but that when he saw the woman who assisted him in the place where the criminals left him, he was calm.
"He treated me well," he explained.
He also said that he was
crying because his father was taken in the car
.
The car was found within minutes also in Engineer Budge.
The National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office 31 intervened in the investigation, under the charge of the prosecutor
Marcelo Solimine
, and the file was labeled "robbery and illegitimate deprivation of liberty."
