Man detained in Buenos Aires arrives in Río Gallegos following federal operation spanning over 2,500 kilometres
Santa Cruz Police transferred a man with an extensive criminal record to Río Gallegos who was being held in a penal institution in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, according to laopinionaustral.com.ar. A warrant issued by the Criminal Chamber of the First Judicial District weighed against the accused for his alleged involvement in a series of assaults against elderly adults in the provincial capital.
Investigators confirmed the location of the suspect in a penitentiary complex under the jurisdiction of the City Police. After processing the corresponding judicial exhortations, provincial authorities organised a special convoy to execute the precautionary measure.
The transfer was carried out by road across more than two thousand five hundred kilometres in an identifiable police vehicle. Throughout the entire route, strict security protocols were applied to guarantee the arrival of the accused at the provincial capital without incident, where he arrived in recent hours.
Sources linked to the judicial proceedings indicated that the accused would be implicated in robberies specifically targeted at retirees and elderly persons in Río Gallegos. The modus operandi described in the complaints indicates that the subject would break into his victims' homes, tie them up to neutralise any resistance, and search the properties for cash and valuable objects.
The implicated party is currently held under strict custody at the Río Gallegos Prison Custody facility. He will remain there awaiting being summoned to provide a statement and face the case, classified as aggravated robbery in the degree of attempted crime.
