Unusual arrest in La Matanza: they were looking for him for aggravated robbery and found him hiding inside a freezer
A man wanted for aggravated robbery was found hiding in a freezer at his home in La Matanza, leading to his arrest by local police.
In an unusual twist during a police operation in La Matanza, a man named Alexis Alejandro González, who had been wanted since early February for aggravated robbery, was discovered hiding inside a freezer in his own home. The Bonaerense police conducted a coordinated raid as part of the investigation led by the Departmental Investigations Directorate (DDI) of La Matanza. His mother attempted to conceal his whereabouts during the search, which resulted in a dramatic discovery when officers located him exposed to potentially life-threatening hypothermic conditions.
The arrest concluded a lengthy search that began earlier in the month, linking González to previous criminal activities. Police bodycam footage reportedly captured the moment he pleaded with officers for help, indicating the dire circumstances in which he was found. The authorities have since stated that they are also pursuing his accomplice, indicating that this arrest may be part of a broader effort to address local crime in the area.
This incident underscores the challenges that law enforcement faces in apprehending individuals who go to great lengths to avoid capture. It also highlights the drastic lengths some people are willing to take in evading justice. González is now in custody and awaiting legal proceedings while the police continue their investigations into the robbery charges and associated criminal activities.
