Two Chilean Men Detained After Attempted Robbery at Raúl Bustos Jewelry Store in Santa Rosa

Two Chilean nationals were arrested after attempting to rob the Raúl Bustos jewelry store in Santa Rosa, La Pampa. Investigators say the perpetrators created a hole in an adjoining property to gain access, triggered the store’s alarm, and fled toward a bus terminal where they were intercepted while trying to board a bus to Buenos Aires.

The suspects were formally charged on Monday at the Centro Judicial and ordered to remain in pre‑trial detention for 60 days pending forensic analysis. Police recovered the damaged doorway and seized the suspects’ belongings, awaiting a judicial order to open the confiscated bags. The case underscores coordinated police action between local La Pampa authorities and the national investigative brigade.
