Owner of "Amanda Lomos" detains one of two intruders in Rawson
An 18-year-old youth identified as De Vita was apprehended during the early hours of Friday after being found inside a lomoteca in Villa Italia, Rawson, according to tiempodesanjuan.com. The case was classified as aggravated robbery in the attempted stage and fell under the remit of the Flagrancia Unit.
The premises owner, a 41-year-old man, was resting when he heard noises in the front section of his home, where the food shop "Amanda Lomos" operates. Upon going out to check, he observed an individual on the pavement; that suspect, upon realising he had been discovered, escaped running down Urquiza Street towards the south.
Upon continuing to inspect the premises, the owner found a second youth inside the kitchen of the business. With the assistance of his partner, he managed to subdue him and keep him detained until the arrival of police personnel.
Officers from the Comando Sur Division intervened in the procedure and formalised the detention of De Vita, a resident of Rawson. Subsequently, the assistant prosecutor for Flagrancia ordered the initiation of corresponding judicial proceedings.
