The City Police arrested a motochorro who stole a suitcase with
$ 3 million in the center of Buenos Aires
after hitting the victim of the assault with a stone on the head.
According to sources in the case, the robbery occurred this Wednesday at noon at the corner of
Avenida 9 de Julio and Sarmiento
.
The motochorro was stopped a few meters away.
His accomplice escaped.
The City police intervened when they saw that
a traffic officer was running two men
aboard a motorcycle.
A mobile phone that was at the scene began to chase the motorcycle and managed to arrest the thief who was accompanying him.
He was the one who had the suitcase stolen a few minutes earlier.
Through the security cameras of the Buenos Aires government it was determined that the detainee had
hit his victim with a stone on the head
and snatched the suitcase.
Then he got on the motorcycle and
dragged the loot across the pavement
as the assailant he was driving dodged cars on the 9 de Julio.

Sources in the case reported that he suffered a "right frontal trauma" and that he was out of danger.
A video released by the Police shows the moment in which the thief is handcuffed, in front of the blind of a local.

"The Lynxes"
The "Linces", the new brigade to fight the motorcycle jets.
One of the crimes that most worries the authorities is that committed by motorcycle jets, who use this kind of vehicle to facilitate a quick escape through busy and complicated areas, without giving the security forces effective possibilities of persecution.
Therefore, in 2019 in the City the motorized group "Linces" was presented, which is made up of 80 agents from the four federal forces whose operational range will be adjusted to the areas where they currently work.
These brigades have high-displacement motorcycles, including the new models that were purchased, the Kawasaki Versys, 650 cubic centimeters.
