At least four armed robbers surprised a couple and their 9-year-old grandson when they arrived at their home in Sarandí, Avellaneda district, where they threatened them and stole their car.
The event, which was recorded by a security camera in a neighboring house, occurred this Wednesday around 7 p.m. in front of the house on Calle Zeballos at 4100.
At least four armed criminals, aboard a burgundy Citroën Picasso, intercepted a couple who were returning from looking for their grandson from soccer practice at a nearby club.
Mariana, daughter and daughter-in-law of the victims, told the

channel
that she heard a scream, went to the window of her house and when one of the criminals saw her, he told her "stay still or I'll burn you."
The assailants quickly took some of the couple's belongings and escaped in the victims' vehicle, a gray Renault Sandero Stepway, which was found early Thursday in Gerli.
The woman added that her son "was very afraid" and that "he had a fit of tears" because of the situation he experienced.
"I always tell my children to stay put in a situation like this, that if we do what they tell us, everything will be fine," he added.
Finally, Mariana assured that her son's fear was "in case his grandfather would be shot" and "that they would miss a shot" during the robbery.
The Functional Instruction Unit 1 of Avellaneda intervenes in the case, where the file was labeled as "automotive theft".
