Chaco: She threw boiling water at a thief and thwarted the robbery in a kiosk

In Charata, Chaco, an attempted robbery ended unexpectedly when an employee reacted by throwing boiling water at the face of a criminal who was escaping with a large sum of money.

The incident occurred at the IMMER kiosk, where two hooded men burst in on a motorcycle. One managed to flee without completing the robbery, but the other did steal $140,000 in cash. As he tried to escape, he encountered the store employee, a 27-year-old woman, who, without hesitation, threw boiling water directly at his face.

The employee's reaction changed the course of the event

After the attack, the woman reported the robbery at the local police station. Thanks to her intervention, the police launched a swift investigation. Hours later, they managed to seize the motorcycle used in the assault and recover $32,000 of the loot, which were voluntarily handed over by the striker's sister.

The injured assailant had first-degree burns on his face. He was initially taken to Charata hospital, but then transferred to Hospital 4 de Junio in Sáenz Peña for a more thorough evaluation. Since then, he has remained in police custody.

The kiosk owner expanded the complaint and identified the suspects

The store owner, a 33-year-old man, appeared before the authorities to expand the complaint. After reviewing the security cameras, he confirmed that the total amount stolen was $140,000 and managed to identify both involved.

The on-duty prosecutor ordered the immediate arrest of the hospitalized thief, charged with "aggravated theft," and continued the investigation to find the second involved, who remains at large.

The case shocked the local community, not only because of the violence of the attempted robbery, but also because of the brave and quick reaction of the employee, who prevented a greater blow and actively contributed to the resolution of the event.
