The Córdoba Police are investigating the appearance of an abandoned pickup truck in a downtown parking lot, inside which 80 million pesos were found.
While officers were looking for two individuals who had abandoned a stolen motorcycle, police personnel came across the pickup truck in question, which showed signs of having been parked in that lot on Salta Street in the 300 block for quite some time.
The surprise came when the Police continued inquiring and determined that the vehicle had an outstanding seizure order, so a guard was posted in the lot to await the appearance of the vehicle's owners.
En el interior de la camioneta se encontró una importante suma de dinero.
A 17-year-old teenage girl presented herself to the Córdoba police with the key to the pickup truck that was subject to a court order; and the surprise was considerable when two bags containing a multimillion sum in cash were found inside.
After the voluntary handover of the keys, with authorization from the on-duty Prosecutor's Office, the vehicle was opened in the presence of a witness.
The young woman provided information about the money; however, she was unable to justify its possession.
So far, the Investigations and Economic Crimes personnel are in charge of the case in order to establish the origin of the money.
Police comment on the abandoned pickup truck
"Everything began on Monday, at approximately 3:00 p.m., when a call came in to 911 reporting that a motorcycle with two people, two males, was acting suspiciously in the vicinity of Salta Street", stated Commissioner Héctor Pérez.
"Police patrol cars, motorcycles, and resources that we have assigned to that sector in District 1 were dispatched, managing to locate at the entrance to a parking lot a motorcycle with similar characteristics, a 250-cubic-centimeter motorcycle, which had a hot engine but no occupants," he added.
"At the moment of cross-checking the data for that motorcycle, it shows that it has an outstanding seizure order and a woman in charge of this lot appears, who proves ownership. Immediately, and once that procedure has been completed, officers begin to cross-check the vehicles present in that parking lot, with the particular detail that in one of the bays they observe a high-end Volkswagen vehicle, a Tiguan, a pickup truck, which showed signs of being abandoned or of having remained in that place for a long time due to the condition of the vehicle," he concluded.
