An armed cache linked to the 'Banda de los Menores' was discovered during a major operation in Roldan, Argentina, where high-profile criminals are detained.
Authorities conducted a large-scale operation in the town of Roldan, Argentina, uncovering a buried arsenal believed to belong to the notorious 'Banda de los Menores.' This gang is currently involved in dominating organized crime in the region, particularly in the Greater Rosario area. The cache included AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, which were presumably used for committing violent acts associated with the gang's criminal activities.
The operation aimed to dismantle the gang's operations, which are reportedly overseen by high-profile inmates held in a maximum security facility in Piñeiro. These high-profile detainees face strict regulations, including constant searches, limited visitation rights, and restricted communication with the outside world. Their isolation and the stringent security measures have led to heightened tensions between inmates and the authorities, complicating law enforcement's efforts to manage the gang's influence from behind bars.
Between 2025 and 2026, it is anticipated that over 400 inmates will be transferred to these maximum security modules, intensifying the crackdown on organized crime in the region. This discovery of the buried arsenal underscores the ongoing battle against the violent criminal organizations operating in Argentina, particularly in urban centers like Rosario, which continue to struggle with a rising incidence of crime and gang violence.
