Buenos Aires, November 30 (NA) -- A criminal who robbed different homes and neighbors on the street and hid the loot in a stream was arrested by the Police of Misiones. According to an investigation by the Regional Unit II of Oberá, the suspect's unusual modus operandi was revealed. He committed crimes in different parts of the city and hid the stolen goods under the waters of the Mbotaby stream, using it as his fixed point to hide the loot. One of the most recent incidents occurred on Friday at around 5:30 p.m., when Rolando Fabián E.
