Attempted Robbery In San Isidro Centro At 5 Pm

[Girino]

My street was closed down at 5PM after a thief and his accomplice were arrested by the Policia Municipal. The two went to a clothing shop in calle Rivadavia with a gun. They split and run - one was caught in Martin Y Omar and the other one near calle Beccar. Nobody was hurt. The gun was a small caliber.

They were well dressed to blend in with the San Isidro crowd, but were obviously from a villa. Be careful out there!

San Isidro hosts one of the biggest and most dangerous villas " La Cava "

San isidro was always dangerous but high middle class and police men are the most dangerous of all:

Not sure about these things that happened decades ago, but the police in Buenos Aires Province seem kind of suspect. Maybe some of our provincial friends can shed some light.

A few years ago a local vertern policeman , much liked by the locals , was gunned down in the middle of the day in downtown San Isidro by cowardly thugs.

I see attempted robberies here all the time, whenever I go into a store and check the price tag.

I saw posters about him in stores on calle Beccar.

Watch Pablo Trapero's film: El Bonaerense
http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/D5F420EF-B13F-4A23-A148-BC7F94A4A402/year/2002.html

.El Bonaerense provides a grim and realistic picture of the police in Buenos Aires (the notorious bonaerense). Dark and rather grainy images contribute to the oppressive atmosphere, that is only illuminated by acid, almost satirical humour. Trapero avoids making any moral judgements and only shows even with some tenderness how the young and naive cop is dragged along in a thoroughly corrupt world.
