A Punta Arenas court sentenced Ramón Alejandro Low Low to 300 days in prison for simple theft. The conviction stems from an October 2025 incident where Low Low entered a vacant residence to steal items including liquor, perfumes, and a digital device. 

While prosecutors originally sought robbery charges, the court reclassified the offense to simple theft because the property's security was not forcibly breached. Judges denied a suspended sentence, citing a risk of recidivism and a lack of social ties. A co-defendant, Hugo Andrés Low Pérez, has also been detained and remains in custody awaiting trial.
