Corrientes: driver evaded police control and was arrested with stolen van from Buenos Aires
A man was arrested in Corrientes province after attempting to evade a traffic control checkpoint. During an inspection of the vehicle, police officers discovered it was a van that had been reported as stolen in the city of Buenos Aires.
The incident occurred when the driver, upon noticing the presence of a control operation, attempted to evade it. This behaviour drew the attention of the officers, who proceeded to intercept the vehicle and carry out the corresponding inspection.
Once detained, it was established that the vehicle had an active seizure order for having been stolen within the jurisdiction of the federal capital. The van, which was being driven by the suspect, was seized by court order.
The detainee was placed at the disposal of the competent prosecutor's office, which is investigating his alleged involvement in the crime of harbouring stolen property or participation in the illicit trafficking chain of stolen vehicles. In Argentina, the theft of vehicles and their subsequent circulation in other provinces is a phenomenon frequently linked to organised gangs.
According to a report by Radio Dos Corrientes, the procedure was carried out in Corrientes territory and concluded with the apprehension of the driver and the seizure of the vehicle.
