Beatings, threats and even a false kidnapping: details of a savage robbery in La Plata

The commotion continues in La Plata after three armed criminals engaged in a violent assault on a house of 471 between 17 and 19 City Bell, holding 12 youths captive and even beating a dog. As reported by 0221.com.ar, the fact was recorded last Tuesday when Morena, 17, expected her friends to arrive for lunch with her where she lives with her family.

At that time, the assailants broke into the front, forced the front door, and in half an hour terrorized adolescents and three adults inside the property: the housekeeper and two workers who refurbished the pool.

"when they came in and didn't notice, because they didn't make much noise," said the teenager in dialogue with El Día. The physical violence was immediate: the employee was in the kitchen and, when she warned the situation, she tried to run to the bottom to warn the men working in the pool. The thieves arrested her, slapped her and threw her on the floor, where she was kicked in the head: "that's what you get for making her alive," said Morena, who told the woman.

"they also welcomed my friends as they arrived, telling them that they were employees who had been hired to clean the pool at home," the victim added, pointing out: "the first of my friends who rang the bell was tied by their hands in my mom's bedroom," as they did with her and the 38-year-old woman.

The young woman was also hit in the face, because she had her cell phone in her hand "and they thought she was about to phone someone." They even raped the family dog, a French bulldog named Cooper, who was beaten with a cable. "they tied our hands with wires that cut off the TV," he explained, adding that the same modus operandi was repeated with every friend of his who came to the house. In total there were six other people to whom the thieves "opened the door telling them that they were working in the swimming pool."

The criminals took about eleven cell phones belonging to the people they held captive at the time, $100, watches and jewelry.

To frighten her, the thieves even made the teenage girl believe that they had her 32-year-old brother kidnapped "somewhere else". "at that moment I got very bad and that's when I decided to tell them that they could take everything they stole from Mom," he said and said that as soon as they left, he found that his brother's kidnapping was a lie.

The terror lasted half an hour and those involved escaped quickly. Shortly thereafter, the police of the 10th police station were alerted to the incident and, together with the personnel of the Department of Investigation (DDI), they are analysing the zonal chambers with a view to identifying the fugitives.
