In the middle of a shootout with the police, a thief got into the patrol car and fled
An armed confrontation between members of the Buenos Aires Police and two criminals ended with an unusual sequence: one of the thieves stole the patrol car and escaped at full speed. It happened in Ramos Mejía, part of La Matanza. The mobile was found in the Carlos Gardel de Morón villa.
Everything happened around 3:00 p.m. last Monday at the intersection of Colón and Acha streets, in the Lomas del Millón de Ramos Mejía neighborhood. Two agents arrived at that place, alerted by a woman about the presence of two thieves who were stealing in the area.
The troops saw two suspects walking to whom they gave the alert and responded to the shots. There began the exchange of shots that ended with one of the thieves falling with a gunshot wound to the ankle. His accomplice managed to hide behind a parked car.
At one point, that criminal took advantage of the fact that both troops were out of the cell phone and ran at full speed to get into the patrol car. He got in the driver’s side, accelerated to full speed and got away. A security camera managed to capture the escape.
The vehicle was found minutes later in the Carlos Gardel neighborhood of El Palomar, Morón district. The thief escaped running through the corridors.
The other injured criminal was identified as Enzo Rodrigo Ortiz, 19 years old. He was arrested and it was found that he had a criminal record.
The act was classified as “aggravated robbery by the use of a firearm and resistance to authority.” The Ordinary Justice and Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires intervenes.
According to what could be reconstructed so far, the criminals had stolen a Renault Kangoo van minutes before, which was left 80 meters from the place where they were intercepted by the police.
