The woman was deceived and delivered more than two million pesos / Web
It is a trick as well known as it is effective. And despite the warnings that have been issued over time to alert people about the existence of unscrupulous people, who seek to keep the savings of the neighbors through deception, someone always falls into the trap. As just happened to an almost 80-year-old retiree in the Parque Saavedra neighborhood of La Plata.
Spokespersons with access to the case indicated that the woman received a phone call at her home on Calle 69 between 15 and 16. It was a familiar voice, which is why she immediately paid attention to it.
The same sources detailed that “the person who contacted her posed as her daughter and asked her to prepare all the money she had and give it to an acquaintance, who was going to pick her up at her home.”
The retiree, without suspecting anything wrong, then collected that money, some two million three hundred thousand pesos, which she placed in a backpack and gave it to someone who, indeed, after a while went to her home.
Everything that happened afterwards was too late, since when he told his daughter that he had completed the errand, everyone realized the farce.
The man who took the money, who provided a known name, was riding a motorcycle and disappeared from the scene within seconds.
It was learned that there are no security cameras inside the farm, but there are on the block, so now the investigators will try to analyze the images to determine if they can identify the thief.
Obviously, those who are dedicated to this type of crime handle sensitive information. In this case, that the victim had a daughter and that there was money in the property.
How these details were made, is what is also trying to unravel. In general, some comment could have been fished out by someone who is dedicated to “uncle’s stories” or, at least to selling data, and who is related to the prison world, from where, it is suspected, they manage the criminal structure.
In the case, he took personal intervention from the fifth police station in La Plata, with the knowledge of UFI No. 9 of Ignored Authors of the local Judicial Department.
