Five suspects detained for theft of electrical infrastructure materials
Five people have been placed at the disposal of the courts after being intercepted by officers of the East Brigade in San Juan, according to tiempodesanjuan.com. The group—four men and one woman—were travelling in a white Volkswagen Gol motor vehicle at the time of the detention.
The vehicle was seized for forensic examination. Investigators also seized the clothing of the suspects, and found traces of resin oil on their garments, a dielectric fluid used inside electrical transformers.
The discovery is considered a key element in determining whether the five individuals had recent contact with those electrical equipment, as part of the investigation into the alleged theft of components from the provincial electrical infrastructure.
Following the police procedure, the detainees were taken to a police station and remain at the disposal of the courts. So far, the authorities have not provided additional details about the case or about the judicial measures that might be adopted.
