Criminal gang dismantled in Puerto Madero

A criminal gang composed of three minors and one adult, accused of committing a million-dollar theft in a warehouse of materials in Puerto Madero, was dismantled thanks to several raids conducted by the City Police.

In December of last year, this group carried out the robbery at a warehouse in the Puerto Madero neighborhood, stealing a large quantity of construction materials, plumbing fixtures, 40 smart toilets, a golf simulator valued at $25,000, computers, cash, and a truck to load the stolen goods.

After an exhaustive investigation carried out by the South Commune 1 Investigations Division, which included analysis of security cameras, social media, and triangulation of cell phone antennas, the responsible parties were identified, three of whom are minors.

The National Juvenile Court No. 3, led by judge Julia Marano Sanchís, authorized the execution of four simultaneous raids in different locations, allowing for the arrest of one 17-year-old minor in Villa Soldati and notification of another 15-year-old in San Telmo.

During the raids, $1,198,000, 11 cell phones, clothing used in the robbery, a flash drive, and the 'Trackman' golf simulator stolen from the warehouse were seized. The other two involved are a 14-year-old minor, detained at the José de San Martín Juvenile Institute, and a 22-year-old adult, arrested since March for his involvement in the crime of 'robbery in a group' at a police station in Buenos Aires.
