Overview
- The two pursuits, which unfolded Wednesday in Mar del Plata and in Buenos Aires, ended with arrests and recovered property.
- In Mar del Plata, thieves stole a Renault Clio at gunpoint in Villa Primera, drew a chase by Prefectura patrols, and one suspect fired at officers without causing injuries.
- Officers there detained two men after the suspects ditched the car on Av. Constitución, seized two replica guns and a phone, and said a third man escaped.
- In Buenos Aires, two motochorros—motorcycle robbers—smashed a car window to rob an elderly couple in Villa Lugano, and police caught one while the other jumped into the Riachuelo to flee.
- A search that brought in firefighters, a police helicopter, the DOEM high-risk unit, and a negotiator found the fugitive hiding in riverbank grass, and both detainees were taken to Comisaría 7B to await questioning.
