A middle-aged man who uses a 110 cc type motorcycle to get around is wanted by the police after being reported by the parents of two students from the Padre Ramón de la Quintana School and the Encja Teachers’ Normal School, both schools located in full downtown of the city.
According to the official information that was accessed, on Wednesday around 6:00 p.m., the police went to the Padre Ramón de la Quintana School on Rivadavia and Esquiú streets, where a person had tried to take a girl by deception.
He is a tall individual, with a dark complexion, with a beard and short black hair, who was wearing jeans and a black jacket at the time. He carried a traveler-type backpack with him.
The stranger, as it turned out, approached the girl and tried to convince her to get on the motorcycle on which he then left, when he noticed that some parents who were arriving at school to pick up their children were observing him.
The girl’s parents filed a complaint in Judicial Unit No. 1 and prosecutor Valeria Reyes intervened.
Likewise, when the judicial precinct was established, the police learned that this would not be the only incident reported to the Justice, but that on Wednesday the parents of another student reported a similar event.
This time, the incident would have occurred at the exit of the Encja School in San Martín and Salta. A subject, whose characteristics were similar to those provided to the investigators by the girl from La Quintana, had also tried to take a student by trickery.
Informed of the situation, the police officers went to the school establishments in question, where they spoke with the respective directors and requested through SAE 911 the location and arrest of the suspect.
Prevention in schools
On the other hand, the police ordered that walking personnel and motorcyclists will carry out prevention tasks in said school establishments, mainly during the entry and exit times of students of the different levels.
From the Security portfolio, they noted in this regard: “Our police officers are present in the school corridors, alternating schedules and establishments they cover with educational institutions throughout the capital of Catamarca.
With the objective of ensuring that each student can enter and leave their educational institutions safely. This security deployment seeks to prevent incidents and create a protected and calm environment for everyone.”
