Three Colombians Arrested in Buenos Aires Car Theft Case

Three Colombian men with prior records were arrested for stealing a car in the Monserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when police officers noticed a shattered window and a ransacked interior of a Renault Duster parked on San José Street. A witness provided descriptions of the suspects' clothing, physical features, and direction of escape. Following this tip, police launched an operation at 4:30 AM and apprehended the individuals at Uruguay Street, 200. Officers seized mobile phones, vehicle-breaking tools, and cash. The National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 39, led by Judge Bignone, confirmed that the suspects, aged 30, 26, and 38, have prior convictions for property crimes. Buenos Aires City Head of Government Jorge Macri demanded the "immediate expulsion" of the three accused from the country.

"Foreigner who commits crimes in the city. Law and order," stated the official.

"We arrested these three Colombians for car theft. We are requesting their immediate expulsion from the country."
