This Sunday afternoon, the judiciary charged two Argentinians, aged 18 and 32, as perpetrators cupping to a family in the Maldonado Park neighborhood of the city Maldonado.
Both were charged with felony deprivation of liberty and confiscation. They serve 120 days of preventive detention and await the final court verdict. Local police sources said this Underlined that none of them have a history in Uruguay. The police don’t know whether these exist in their country.
The Argentine was arrested by the Colonia prefecture on Saturday afternoon. There, officers noticed in the system that they were wanted and notified Maldonado police.
At this point, investigators knew that the suspects had taken a bus to Montevideo. Police learned of their characteristics because they were filmed on public and private cameras after the seizure.
They were two of four men wanted over the attack in the early hours of Saturday morning, with a family as the victims, it said Underlined.
The complainant told the police that his front door was unlocked because he was inside with his family: his partner, his mother and his minor children. He pointed out that two people came in and threatened them with a knife. They tied her up and fled with credit cards with a balance of $90,000, two cell phones, $2,500, $15,000 and a car key.
