Kicillof Administration: A criminal no older than 12 years old robbed a neighbor with a weapon in Tres de Febrero

A new episode of insecurity occurred in the Buenos Aires suburbs and involved a armed minor, who threatened and attacked a neighbor to rob him.

The assault took place on Tuesday afternoon in the town of Caseros, in the Tres de Febrero district, carried out by a boy no older than 12 years, a clear indication of the serious situation in the province governed by the ultra-Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof.

The incident occurred around 1:50 PM, at the corner of Juan de Garay and Caseros, in broad daylight. The sequence was recorded by a security camera installed in the area and also by a neighbor who managed to capture the escape of the criminals with his cell phone.

The victim, identified as Roberto, lives in an apartment located above a mechanic's workshop. According to him, he had just left his home to head to his truck when a Nissan driving the wrong way stopped near him.

Between three and four criminals got out of the vehicle, although the man could not specify exactly how many there were. Among them was a minor carrying a weapon who approached directly towards the victim.

The violent robbery

The underage criminal pointed the gun at Roberto and demanded that he hand over his belongings. The victim recounted the moment of the robbery: “He says to me: ‘Give me everything’. I give him my cell phone and then he puts his hand in my pockets and takes the money I had”.

The minor also demanded that he hand over gold chains. Roberto replied that he wasn’t wearing any and opened his jacket to prove it. That moment was captured by the surveillance cameras.

Faced with the threat, the neighbor tried to run away. However, the assault did not end there. The minor chased him again and intercepted him while continuing to point the gun at him. This time, the criminal demanded that he unlock the cell phone he had just stolen.

Car theft

After the attack on Roberto, the criminals changed their target. Since they could not take the victim's truck, they decided to steal a Citroën C3 that was parked nearby.

The vehicle belonged to a customer who had left his car at the mechanic's workshop located on the ground floor of Roberto's home.

The criminals used that car to escape the area. The getaway was recorded by a neighbor from inside a house, and the images were incorporated into the investigation.

The victim had already suffered another robbery

Roberto also mentioned that this was not the first episode of insecurity he had experienced. On a previous occasion, criminals entered his home after forcing the door with a crowbar. He recounted that the thieves stayed inside the house for about an hour and ransacked the place.

“I’m tired, the last time they ransacked my house, broke everything. That’s why I’m speaking out, I don’t know what else to do”, he expressed regarding the recurrence of the robberies.

The neighbor also expressed his concern about the possibility of the situation repeating itself: “All in all, I can tell the story, I have to be thankful for that. But I want this to end, I’ve been robbed many times”.
