A violent robbery occurred in Lanús, Argentina, during which two armed assailants confronted a couple as they attempted to take their Peugeot 208 from their home. The robbers fired shots into the air to intimidate their victims, demanding the car keys and threatening their lives. In a moment of desperation, the vehicle owner responded by throwing a bottle at the assailants in an attempt to protect himself and his belongings, including a cell phone that contained a virtual wallet.

Police sources indicate that the incident took place at Aconcagua 3920, close to the boundary with Lomas de Zamora. Amidst the chaos, a third accomplice was seen in a Jeep, presumably acting as a getaway driver, illustrating the organized nature of the assault. The couple felt particularly violated and distressed, not only due to the violent nature of the robbery but also because the female victim suspected that one of the robbers might be a former student of hers, adding a layer of personal betrayal to the frightening experience.

This episode of violent crime reflects an unsettling trend in the region, as just 18 hours later, another similar robbery was reported in the same vicinity. Such incidents raise concerns about safety and crime in Lanús, indicating a potential rise in organized crime activities in the area that could impact the local community's sense of security.
