"I was just robbed of my truck and all my belongings. If you receive any messages, it's not me," Boca defender Agustín Sández described on his Instagram account after suffering a violent robbery.
The player, who was returning home after returning from Paraná where Boca had lost to Patronato in the 2022 League Tournament, was this time the victim of an assault. The full-back was intercepted by criminals in the southern Buenos Aires suburbs. The attackers beat him up and stole his truck, a white Toyota Corolla, from his doorstep.
In addition, a shocking photo in which he can be seen with a injured eye reflected the violence with which the criminals acted. "Today insecurity touched us. Agustín was robbed. They steal your truck and hit you on the head with a gun butt. Madness," his partner explained on the same social network, Instagram.
Fortunately, both Sández and his partner and daughter are out of danger, already settled in their home recovering from the bad moment they experienced.
The xeneize club issued a statement regretting what happened and affirmed that it is "in constant contact with the player providing him with all the necessary assistance."
According to police sources, the incident occurred in Lanús, where 5 armed individuals proceeded to steal the Corolla. Hours later, a police car from the City Police that was in the neighborhood of La Boca, on Necochea and Av. Suárez streets, saw the vehicle accompanied by a gray Volkswagen Amarok that was performing reckless maneuvers.
The Amarok turned against traffic on Pinzón street, then took Caferatta, where one of the criminals jumped out of the moving vehicle and was arrested a few meters away. The pursuit of the truck continued, and on the Nicolás Avellaneda Bridge, when they tried to take the exit towards the province of Buenos Aires, the fugitives lost control and crashed head-on into the guardrail. Three occupants got out of the vehicle and the police managed to detain one of them, while the remaining suspects fled.
Simultaneously, officers aboard another City Police car located the Toyota Corolla, parked next to a plaza on Olavarría street, between Ministro Brin and Caboto, noting that a few meters from the vehicle there were two suspects, who were identified and searched, revealing that one of them had the green registration card of the car.
After consultation, the four criminals, aged 18, 17, and 15, were arrested, with the intervention of the 6th National Juvenile Court, under the charge of Federico Cociancich, Secretary No. 16, under the charge of Nicolás Renom.
