The province of Salta recognized the excellent participation of the dogs from the Forensic Odorology Division in the search for little Loan in Corrientes.
Kala and Dina, two highly trained dogs, discovered traces of the child in one of the trucks belonging to one of those arrested in the case. This finding allowed us to change the course of the investigation from the loss to human trafficking.
“Our dogs have high training and are the best nationally, that is why they were requested by my pair from Corrientes,” said the Minister of Security and Justice, Marcelo Domínguez, this morning during the recognition ceremony for the dogs in the Plaza. of Weapons of the Police Headquarters.
The Minister of Security of Corrientes himself was the one who requested the collaboration of the Odorology Division, recognizing the training of Salta dogs at the national level, added Domínguez.
“The use of Kala and Dina allowed us to rule out other hypotheses and confirm the clue that Loan had boarded one of the vehicles of the people who are detained today,” he noted.
“As a society, we all want Loan to appear, but we must recognize the work of our dog division and, specifically, our dogs, who were key to guiding the course of the investigation,” Domínguez emphasized.
The request
Days ago, the Province received a request for cooperation from the Corrientes authorities to send resources from the Canine Investigation Division of the Salta Police to search for Loan Peña, whose whereabouts have been unknown since last June 13.
