The investigative work focused on a gray car, a Ford Fiesta Max, and until the weekend no news emerged. However, on Sunday morning, the officers detected the suspicious car parked near the terminal. Far from being able to flee, the criminals were quickly subdued and a firearm was observed in the vehicle at first glance.
Raid on a Plottier watershed
The investigations continued throughout Sunday and under the directives of the prosecutor’s office, a home located in the jurisdiction of Police Station 46 was raided. Gómez pointed out that the task was carried out on Sunday and that the result was very positive, with the kidnapping of cell phones and backpacks.
The criminals, aged 21, 24 and 25, were detained and notified of the case opened against them. They will not only have to answer for the crime of robbery aggravated by the use of a weapon but also for possession of a firearm due to the discovery of a revolver inside the Ford Fiesta car.
Gómez indicated that the thieves are from Plottier and that it is speculated that on Sunday, when they were caught, they were planning to commit other robberies around the terminal.
The key contribution of the Monitoring Center
Commissioner Félix Gómez highlighted that the assaults suffered by the students were very similar and that last Wednesday, in a period of no more than three hours, they became aware of three events. “They got out (of the car) and threatened them,” said the Plottier police chief.
At first, the Robbery and Theft prosecutor’s office was intervened and the investigative task began based on the stories of the victims and occasional witnesses. However, the main data emerged from the material of the Plottier Monitoring Center. “It is a fundamental resource,” Gómez valued when analyzing the positive result of the investigation.
The members of the Seventh Police Station carried out several preventive actions during the long weekend and, for example, on Constituciónntes Street, they arrested a man who was registering an arrest warrant. The procedure took place on Sunday.
