Influencer and Tourist Family Hit by Organized Thefts in Mar del Plata

Neighbor footage points to premeditation with no arrests or investigative updates from authorities.

Overview

  • Mía Martínez says thieves emptied her grandparents’ home in Barrio Faro, taking cameras, drones, computers and family heirlooms and forcing her to cancel summer work and return to Buenos Aires.
  • She reported that entry was made through a small window, with the front gate left latched from inside, and neighbor video shows at least two coordinated suspects casing and entering the property.
  • Martínez provided photos and video to police and the prosecutor’s office but says she has received no concrete information, and the case remains under judicial review without arrests.
  • In a separate incident, a family from Arrecifes renting in Bosque Peralta Ramos reported the theft of about 4.5 million pesos, 14 bags of clothing and copies of keys to a Toyota Hilux and a Toyota RAV4, cutting their vacation short.
  • The family said a truck had knocked out power hours earlier, disabling cameras; they had to borrow money to go home, and police advised hiding their vehicles, intensifying concerns about security in temporary rentals during the summer season.
