An event of insecurity left images that seem untrue but actually happened.
It was on the streets of Isidro Casanova, in La Matanza:
the van was stolen from employees of a bakery and a patrol car that passed by at that moment continued to pass
.
The robbery
occurred
in the middle of the afternoon at the intersection of
Peribebuy and Mi Esperanza streets
, a
very busy area,
only one very busy, the residents of the neighborhood who go out to buy are joined by those who get off the buses that circulate in the area.
None of this was an impediment for two criminals to rob employees of the
Hispano Argentina bakery.
The owner was on
the premises
, who was surprised by an
armed criminal
who
threatened him to hand over the money from the cash register.
At the same time,
another assailant beat up the vendor
who was at the door of the shop
unloading merchandise from the Kangoo truck
.
The criminals threw the employee to the ground when he tried to prevent the robbery.
After struggling with one of the employees and throwing him to the ground,
the criminals managed to seize the vehicle
, but before they fled, the unexpected happened.
When they were about to follow their truck
towards Peribebuy street, the criminals
reversed
and brought
the vehicle back up onto the sidewalk
.
The reason: to give way to a patrol of the Buenos Aires Police
, which was just circulating through the place and
did not realize what was happening
,
despite the shouts of the employees and other neighbors
who were on the block.
Once the police continued on their way, the criminals fled the scene at full speed.
In the images you can see how
the employees of the bakery run towards the street
, while
waving their arms and continuing to shout
to ask the patrolman to follow the van that had just been stolen.
The employees went out to the street to make gestures to him and call the patrol but they kept going.
"The police saw everything, they walked around the block to come back and they told us they couldn't do anything because they were taking a detainee back,"
explained one of the employees in statements to Telefé Noticias.
The criminals not only
took the vehicle and the collection of the day, which was $ 19,000
, but
also
had time to get
the owner's cell phone and wallet
with more cash, cards and documents.
The police version
According to the
police version
,
it is not that the officers did not stop intentionally
, but that they
did not see what had happened and did not find out
at that time because the employees and neighbors asked for help when they were already moving away.
This
was denied by the same employees
, who say that the
officers came to see what was happening
and the only thing they hit upon was to make a kind of indignant gesture, shaking their heads.
Neighbors maintain that they chose to continue on, despite the gestures of
employees and neighbors who came close to hitting the windows of the police cell phone throughout the block.
The case
was classified as aggravated robbery
by the prosecutor Claudio Fornaro of UFI No. 1 of La Matanza, who
ordered the
surveillance
cameras to be reviewed
in order to
reconstruct the route
and what the criminals did once they fled.
Until the afternoon of this Wednesday,
the assailants had not been located.
Regarding the stolen truck, the employees
gave the patent number and other details
so that they can identify it, but
there were no traces
of the vehicle.
