Three hooded criminals violently attacked a couple of retirees in the Buenos Aires locality of Tolosa. The 86-year-old man and the 84-year-old woman were subdued, stripped of their savings, and robbed in their own home. The robbery took place around 4:30 in the morning when the wrongdoers cut a grate from a window to enter the victims' home, located on 530 street.
The initial investigations revealed that the thieves acted with precision, using gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. Once inside the house, they gagged, tied the retirees' hands and feet, and covered their eyes, leaving them completely vulnerable. The criminals stole cash, seven watches, jewelry, a LED television, a laptop, and the key to a Honda Civic belonging to the couple, as well as over 200,000 pesos from their pensions.
After the assault, the husband managed to call for help from a neighbor, who quickly alerted the police by calling 911. The couple did not suffer serious physical injuries during the attack but were shaken by the violent experience. The police initiated a search for security cameras in the area to obtain clues that lead to the identification and capture of those responsible.
According to testimonies from the retirees, the criminals acted quickly and decisively, carrying out the robbery in an organized manner. It is estimated that the attackers are men around 30 years old, who executed the heist coldly and left no significant traces. So far, no indications have been found to identify the criminals, and the investigation is ongoing.
