“The sadness I feel is enormous.
I don't know how I'm going to continue, ”said the pilot Emanuel Abdala, leader of the
National Tourism
Class 2
, who had more than $ 2 million stolen from his car.
The robbery was in the
parking lot of a supermarket
in the Chubut city of Puerto Madryn.
The authors used an inhibitor according to what the provincial police chief, Commissioner Miguel Gómez, told Clarín on Wednesday.
There are two detainees and a small part of what was stolen was recovered.
“It wasn't more than 15 minutes and I'm totally
sure
I
closed the truck
.
That's why from the start I thought they used some device to open it and take everything that was inside, ”said Abdala, who said that he went down to
buy a barbecue
to celebrate his birthday in the city of Trelew with a group of friends.
Police conducted raids after the robbery.

The robbery took place around 9pm on Monday at the supermarket located on Avenida Gales in Puerto Madryn.
The pilot was returning from San Nicolás, a city in the province of Buenos Aires where he had competed for the weekend.
According to the complaint that the police have, in addition to the $ 2 million (that Abdala was going to use to
buy a vehicle
) they also stole the vehicle's documentation, credit cards and 30 thousand pesos more in cash that he had in a bag of plastic.
The millionaire loot was
inside a backpack
.
The thieves also took the racing clothing that the driver had worn in the last competition.
The police carried out raids in the city of Trelew.
Two defendants with criminal records were arrested.
Sources in the case reported that in one of the raided houses they found Abdala's wallet and the charger of the inhibitor that they would have used to violate the central locking of the truck.
"In total it is calculated that what was stolen from Abdala, a pilot from the city of Comodoro Rivadavia, is more than 2.5 million pesos," said Commissioner Gómez.
The presumption of the use of an inhibitor arose quickly considering that Abdala's vehicle did not show any signs of violence on the doors or anywhere on the bodywork.
In Trelew there has already been a significant number of vehicle thefts using inhibitors.
Police picked up fingerprints and other evidence.
