A man and his 8-year-old son were victims of a violent piranha robbery,
when a swarm of motorcycle jets aboard five motorcycles assaulted them at gunpoint to take their truck in the Buenos Aires town of
Aldo Bonzi
, La Matanza district.
The incident was recorded by a security camera in the neighborhood where the terror of the boy can be seen,
who ends up kneeling with his hands raised.
The images, recorded by a neighborhood security camera, show how the Volkswagen Amarok van in which the victims were traveling is intercepted by five motorcycles with about eight criminals on board.
The thieves came from Alico Street.
When they reach the corner of Janer, they see the man parking his car.
The motojets are divided into two groups: one surrounds the truck from the front and the other from the rear.
According to the portal
I Lived the West
, both were returning from vacation.
The 8-year-old boy, visibly terrified, gets out of the vehicle
with his hands up and kneels on the sidewalk.
One of the criminals points a firearm at him, while another struggles with his father to get the keys to the truck.
In less than a minute, the thieves manage to open the driver's door and remove the man from the vehicle.
Then, they get into the truck and escape at full speed, while the father and son remain on the street, hugging and in shock.
So far there is no news about the identities of the perpetrators of the robbery, which occurred last Tuesday but went viral in the last few hours when the content of the security cameras became known.
The police are analyzing the images to try to obtain clues about the criminals.
The cause.
classified with the crime of robbery aggravated by the use of a weapon, was in charge of prosecutor Alejandra Núñez, from UFI No. 8 of the Judicial Department of La Matanza.
The residents of Aldo Bonzi, tired of the robberies, announced that they will carry out a mobilization towards the neighborhood police station next Saturday at 5 p.m. to demand greater security.
It is in the same area where, last year, the merchant Emilio Ghezz
i (55) was murdered when he resisted the theft of his truck and they shot him in the back while he tried to escape.
A few months later, in that same place, a 25-year-old young man was shot in the leg by a thief who was trying to rob him.
He took a cell phone and his wallet from him on that occasion.
