Salta Court Imposes Four-Month Prison Sentence for Repeat Theft
A 39‑year‑old man was convicted of simple theft after stealing a customer’s cell phone from a shop on Ruta Nacional 26 in Salta on 28 April. The act was captured by the store’s security cameras, which enabled investigators to identify the suspect.
During an abbreviated trial, the prosecutor Martín Ávila, aided by auxiliary fiscal Cristian Parada, presented the case. Judge Cecilia Flores Toranzos approved the agreement, imposing four months of effective imprisonment, a fine, and declaring the offender a repeat offender for the sixth time. The defendant was ordered to be transferred to Carcelaria N.º 1 to serve the sentence, and genetic samples were to be taken for inclusion in the national DNA database.
