Motorcycle thieves ambush truck driver in La Plata and steal 25 million pesos

Four motorcycle thieves ambushed a truck driver in La Plata and stole 25 million pesos from him. The attack took place at the Ángel Etcheverry intersection, and the victim suspects it was a targeted delivery because the thieves knew exactly where to look for the money.

The incident occurred in La Plata at the Ángel Etcheverry intersection, where four motorcycle thieves attacked a truck driver and stole 25 million pesos from him. Reports indicate the thieves acted with precision, leading the victim to suspect a 'delivery'—an internal tip-off that revealed the exact location of the money in the vehicle.

The robbery was captured on video by Diario El Día, showing the moment of the assault. Police are investigating the case as a planned heist, though no arrests have been reported yet. This type of crime involving motochorros is common in urban areas of Argentina, where thieves use the mobility of motorcycles to ambush transporters.

The victim, who was not publicly identified, emphasized in his complaint the apparent prior knowledge of the perpetrators about the cargo's contents. Local authorities have increased surveillance on transport routes following the event, which took place on January 24, 2026.
