Overview
- A violent carjacking targeting 22-year-old Facundo Higuaín took place Monday night at his home in Núñez, where an armed thief stole his BYD SUV and an iPhone before fleeing.
- The SUV’s built-in satellite tracker and security-camera footage from the city monitoring center allowed police to follow the vehicle into Grand Bourg in Greater Buenos Aires.
- Officers from the Grupo Táctico Operativo and the Police of the City intercepted the truck at Seguí and Ricardo Rojas, arrested two people identified as Alan Nicolás Cardozo and Daniela Avelina Rodríguez, and seized the vehicle and the phone.
- By court order of Criminal and Correctional Court No. 51, the detainees and the recovered SUV were turned over to the Police of the City for peritos and continued investigation on charges of aggravated robbery for use of a firearm.
- The case highlights how satellite tracking, CMU camera analysis, bodycam and drone footage can speed recovery and evidence collection, and it is now with the local fiscalía for prosecution and further forensics.
