Córdoba: millionaire robbery with alarm inhibitor at a food wholesaler

A multi-million dollar robbery shocked Córdoba after an operation in the General Bustos neighborhood. Three criminals used sophisticated alarm jammers to enter a food wholesaler. However, they had to flee when they were pursued by the provincial police.

The operation ended with the seizure of more than $30 million, a vehicle, and several state-of-the-art tools. Among the items found, two signal jammers stood out, one Pandora-type and another in the shape of a flashlight. The devices are commonly used to neutralize security systems.

The chase began when a police patrol detected the suspects at Juan B Justo Avenue and Santiso Moscoso. When they noticed the presence of the officers, the criminals escaped in a Renault Sandero. The pursuit continued to 1100 Acampis Street, where they abandoned the vehicle with the loot.

The loot and the connection with the MDM Alimentos wholesaler

Inside the vehicle, the police found more than $30 million in cash. They also found high-powered jammers, gloves, and precision tools. Everything was seized and sent to the corresponding prosecutor's office for forensic analysis.

Moments later, the owner of a wholesale business at 3600 Juan B Justo Avenue reported missing money and equipment. The investigation established that it was the company MDM Alimentos, direct victim of the foiled heist. The value of what was stolen matches what was seized in the operation.

The use of sophisticated technology reinforces the hypothesis that the gang may have connections with criminal organizations. Córdoba police are investigating whether the actions are part of a larger structure dedicated to large-scale business robberies. Forensic analyses are expected to confirm the origin of the seized tools.

Ongoing investigation and alert over organized crime

The incident exposes the growing professionalization of crime in Córdoba and the need to strengthen security in strategic businesses. Alarm jammers represent a growing threat to the business sector. This method causes multi-million dollar losses and increases the vulnerability of wholesale businesses.

The provincial justice system is working to identify the three criminals who managed to escape. Security cameras and fingerprints lifted from the vehicle will be key in the process. The investigation also seeks to trace possible links with gangs from other provinces.

The operation ended with a significant blow to organized crime by recovering the stolen money. However, the thieves' escape shows that the challenge continues. Authorities highlighted the swift police action, although they emphasized the need for greater prevention in commercial areas.
