Overview
- Officers from the Subcomisaría de Malbrán stopped a gray Toyota Hilux towing a trailer on Ruta Provincial Nº 152 after the driver failed to produce transport or ownership documents.
- The driver, identified as Miguel Orlando Aguirre, was detained after giving conflicting statements about the animals' origin and claiming he had bought them to supply his butcher shop.
- Fiscal Dr. Exequiel Bustamante ordered the preventive seizure of the Hilux, the trailer and the four cattle and instructed inquiries at nearby rural establishments.
- Two local producers reported missing stock and identified two Brangus among the seized animals, and the Justice of Añatuya has taken charge of the ongoing abigeato investigation.
- Recovered livestock will remain held by authorities and will be returned only after claimants present legal proof of ownership, reflecting standard procedure in cattle-theft probes.
