The Misiones Police found the whereabouts of Juan Gabriel R. (21) in the last few hours, who was recaptured at a hotel in the town of Jardín América. At the scene they seized a 22-caliber revolver, eight ammunition and two electronic scales.
Around 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, members of the Crime Prevention Division and the local Radioelectric Command obtained information that Gabriel would be staying at a hotel located near the Jardín bus terminal.
With this information, the uniformed officers first carried out an operational lock on the site and then broke into the room in which the escapee was resting.
Noticing the presence of the policemen, Gabriel took a firearm as if to try to persuade the policemen but was quickly subdued. The troops fired intimidating shots at a time when the subject pointed a revolver at them.
He was then taken under police custody to the Puerto Leoni Police Station, where he remains at the disposal of Investigating Court No. 2 of Jardín América. In addition, during the intervention they kidnapped a 22-caliber revolver with eight ammunition and two precision scales, among other items.
Juan Gabriel R., had fled along with Roberto Carlos M. who is still a fugitive, on September 13 of last year, after forcing the bars of the vent of the cell where they were detained.
