One less: four criminals attempted to rob a police officer and one ended up shot in Moreno

The officer was unharmed. Part of the sequence was recorded by a security camera in the area, which captured the movements leading up to the attack and the subsequent escape of the criminals. Personnel from the Moreno Patrol Command and the 1st Police Station arrived at the scene along with an ambulance from SAME, whose doctors confirmed the attacker’s death.

The officer provided a testimonial statement before the Unit of Instruction N°4 of Moreno. His weapon was seized preventively for forensic examinations, although no legal measures were taken against him. Prosecutors Martín Borgnia and Rebeca Patiño ordered the preservation of the scene, taking testimonies, and conducting the autopsy. The case was classified as “investigation of a crime and attempted robbery.”

This incident adds to a series of attacks against police officers recorded in recent days in the province of Buenos Aires. In La Reja, another corporal from the Federal Police shot two criminals when he came to the defense of a family and was hit by three shots, one of them in the face. Similar confrontations also occurred in City Bell and Gerli.
