Security cameras filmed how
five boys
try to rob buildings in the city of Córdoba.
The videos released in the last few hours show how the boys, with an average age
between 7 and 10 years old
, attempt their criminal raid without success during the early hours of Monday.
The images published by
La Voz
correspond to the entrance of two buildings located in the
Cofico neighborhood
, in the heart of the capital of Córdoba.
Both attempts occur during the early hours of the morning.
The first, around 1:50, in the vicinity of the Corazón de María school;
and the second, around 4 o'clock on a building located at 400 Bedoya Street. In both and for several minutes,
they try to force the entrance door
.
In the first case, the group of children goes to the main entrance of the building and makes a series of attempts using
their body as a lever
to unlock the main door.
Not having success, they try the garage door which, after a few minutes, they manage to open with the efforts of the five of them.
Several of them enter the place where the cars are located, but something happens that they all run out unexpectedly within a few seconds.

In the second case, in the middle of the morning, they tried the same type of pushing and hitting but took a little more time with the main door
that they managed to force
.
They even used a kind of screwdriver to unlock the door.
The problem for the kids is that there was a second door to enter the building.
There, they tried a couple of times, but when they couldn't open it, they walked away.
"
It's impossible to believe because they are creatures
. I never imagined that such young boys would go around and want to steal during the early hours of the morning," said one of the tenants of one of the buildings that was attempted to be robbed.

In a conversation with DoceTV, another of the neighbors indicated that during that early morning "he heard noises like pipes banging in the lower part of the building."
"I got up because I thought they were stealing some rubber from a car, which is common here, and when I look out I see that they are children between 7 and 10 years old," he said.
"When I looked out the window and saw them, the boys stopped making noise and
asked me if they had woken me up; they apologized and left
. Everything was very strange," the neighbor added.
According to the neighbors, this group of boys "usually hangs around that neighborhood."
“The police did not come because they could not enter the building.
The lock on the second door broke and they gave up,” added another neighbor in a conversation with the local newspaper.
And he added that at night they heard noises, although they believed that they were the “usual” sounds that occur in the early morning.
“They were whistles and noises, we thought they were the usual noises in the area,” he said.
According to the version of the different neighbors, it was only around 7 o'clock that they realized what had happened, when one of the residents entered the building and saw the forced doors.
