The Investigative Police (PDI) carried out raids this Friday due to cattle rustling and repeated robberies that occurred in urban and rural areas that affected agricultural producers in the San Justo department.
The complaints had been occurring since the middle of last year, so detectives got to work and followed leads until they reached some homes in the town of Cayastacito (San Justo Department).
The uniformed officers, with the corresponding legal precautions, finally carried out an operation and broke into different homes in the marked sector.
In the procedures, they seized a Renault 12 car, two motorcycles, two 16-caliber shotguns, two compressed air rifles, a solar screen, two batteries, twenty-seven pods, an electric boar, a lasso, two machetes, an axe, two tiles, one jug, twenty tourniquets, two grills, a shovel and other elements that interest the cause.
The proceedings were followed by the prosecutor of the case, Guillermo Persello, who requested the capture of the alleged perpetrator of the crimes, a certain “Pacha” who was arrested in one of the homes.
The suspect was taken to police headquarters and placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
He is accused of more than a dozen criminal acts and was on probation after being convicted of similar robberies.
The PDI had the collaboration of personnel from the Regional Unit (UR) XVI, the Tactical Operations Group of the UR XI, the UR XIV and the UR XVI.
