Subsequent identification established that two of the detainees had criminal records. One of them, aged 23, had charges for concealment and theft from two incidents that occurred in November 2023.

Seven Kirchnerist criminals, aged between 20 and 26, were arrested this Saturday accused of being part of a gang that committed snatch thefts during the "March of Anger", called by the left, in the area of Plaza de Mayo, in downtown Buenos Aires.

The operation began while a mobilization was taking place between the National Congress and Plaza de Mayo and allowed for the seizure of cell phones, a gold chain, and the vehicle in which part of the group was traveling.

The investigation started from the work of the operators at the Urban Monitoring Center (CMU). Through security cameras, agents detected a group of men taking advantage of the concentration of people to steal belongings from other Kirchnerists at the mobilization.

The operators initiated real-time surveillance and found that the suspects had separated into different points in downtown Buenos Aires. Two of them were located near the Metrobus 9 de Julio dock, at the height of Alsina, while five others were trying to leave the area in a Peugeot on Lima Street, at the height of Rivadavia Avenue.

With the physical descriptions and location provided by the Monitoring Center, members of the City Police deployed an operation to intercept them.

The operation led to the arrest of five of the accused while they were inside the vehicle, at Lima 80. The other two were located shortly after at Bernardo de Irigoyen 80, where they were also arrested.
