Argentina police arrest man for selling stolen Toyota Hilux

In Argentina, a 22-year-old man was arrested in Neuquén after attempting to sell a stolen Toyota Hilux. A family in the Alto Valle region of Río Negro had paid 23 million pesos as a down payment for the vehicle, unaware it was stolen.

The fraud was discovered by a vehicle registration agent who noticed irregularities and potential alterations in the transfer documentation. Upon checking the chassis number, police confirmed an active theft report from Mendoza. Authorities orchestrated a sting operation to apprehend the suspect when he arrived to collect the remaining balance of the sale.
