Crime and insecurity in La Plata

Overview

A series of violent crimes in the La Plata neighborhoods of Los Hornos and Tolosa has led to increased public insecurity. The incidents began with an armed robbery at a pet food store in Los Hornos, where two suspects on a motorcycle threatened an employee with a firearm to steal cash and valuables.

Following this, residents have organized protests to demand more police presence and patrol cars. The community's concerns have been exacerbated by an arson attack in Tolosa, where a hooded individual attempted to set fire to a parked car, resulting in the destruction of three vehicles. In both the robbery and the arson, suspects were observed fleeing the scenes on motorcycles.
