Overview
- The theft attempt occurred around 7:47 a.m. on Wednesday when a woman reached into the register of a San Justo shop and was confronted by owner Graciela Rolón.
- A forceful struggle recorded by the store camera left the suspected thief partially undressed as Rolón held her by the hood to stop the theft.
- Hours later the same woman returned to demand deletion of the footage, damaged a shop window during a second confrontation and was restrained by neighbors until police arrived.
- Police carried out the corresponding procedures and took the woman in as detained, while local reports that about 7,000 pesos were taken remain limited to local sourcing.
- The episode highlights how shop surveillance now serves both as key evidence and viral content and how repeated petty thefts are driving merchants to invest in security and press for quicker police response.
