Argentine police detain youth over restraining order breach and seize suspected bomb at Mendoza court

In Necochea, police responded to a 911 call reporting a conflict at a residence. Officers found a group assaulting a young man and discovered a court‑issued restraining order that prohibited him from approaching a 39‑year‑old woman. The youth was arrested for judicial disobedience, received medical attention for injuries, and was taken to the local police station for processing.

In Mendoza, a man who found an unknown device on his doorstep brought the alleged bomb to the municipal judicial building instead of contacting emergency services. The presence of the object prompted activation of the police explosive‑disposal unit, which safely removed and secured the item for forensic analysis. No evacuation of the building was ordered, and an investigation was opened to identify the source of the device.
