A French tourist reported that he was drugged and robbed by a group of women in his apartment in Almagro. According to his testimony, he met the suspects at Plaza Serrano, Palermo, and agreed to go with them to his residence on Gascón at 1000.
According to the complaint filed at the Comisaría Vecinal 5A, the incident occurred around 5 a.m. The young man stated that he had a drink with them and then lost consciousness. When he woke up several hours later, he realized that valuable items were missing.

The thieves took a speaker, a cellphone, a laptop, his wallet with money and cards, as well as his passport.
After noticing the theft, the tourist filed a report, and the investigation was left in the hands of the Fiscalía Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional No. 47, led by Marcelo Solimine.
Another similar case in Laferrere
A few weeks ago, a 28-year-old woman was arrested in La Matanza. She was accused of drugging and assaulting a 74-year-old retiree to steal more than US$50,000. The incident occurred in a house in Laferrere, and the investigation lasted five months.
The victim's son was the one who alerted the police, as his father wasn't responding to messages. Upon arrival, he found him unconscious on the floor, hit on the head and covered with a blanket. In addition to the money, the thieves took $300,000 in cash.
