En Avellaneda, un grupo de jóvenes delincuentes conocido como 'la banda de la escalera' perpetró un violento robo en una vivienda. Los ladrones ingresaron al domicilio utilizando una escalera telescópica y sorprendieron a la familia mientras dormía. Armados y encapuchados, los asaltantes exigieron dólares, ataron a las víctimas y saquearon la casa durante más de una hora. El incidente ocurrió en Gutiérrez al 1800, frente a la Plaza Jaramillo. Las autoridades aún investigan el caso, mientras que las víctimas claman por mayor seguridad en el área.

00:00But this is Avellaneda. What happened, Gustavo?
00:02This is Avellaneda, but I already showed it to you twice this week.
00:04That's why we call it La Banda de la Escalera.
00:07Look, it's that group of thieves, who are very young,
00:12who go with a car, they have studied what place they are going to rob.
00:17They put up a ladder, one stays as a bell,
00:22and they wait for the exact moment to go up, climb the ladder,
00:27enter the home that they have previously studied,
00:31and enter and rob everything.
00:33Why do I tell you that I call them La Banda de la Escalera?
00:35We saw them last week, these same ones, acting in Huilde and Dock Sud.
00:42And this time, the images that we are seeing exclusively,
00:45that you are going to see them go up to that house that they are going to rob in seconds,
00:50there they begin.
00:51It happened in Avellaneda, in Gutiérrez at 1800,
00:54right in front of Plaza Jaramillo.
00:56That area is quite close for those who know the place of Crucecita, for example,
01:02of that quite popular area of Avellaneda.
01:04Look, there they begin to go up, there one begins to go up,
01:08now the second one is going to go up.
01:10They do it, obviously, at dawn,
01:13where, as you can see, on the street,
01:16almost no one passes, and they have a bell.
01:21And I understand that there are people inside who were sleeping.
01:23Yes.
01:23Paula Wilberger is there in the place.
01:25Hello Paula, good day, 24. How are you?
01:29How are you? Very good morning.
01:31It was a nightmare that lasted about an hour,
01:34and from three in the morning, hell began for this family,
01:37which was surprised by criminals while they were sleeping.
01:41They woke up from the screams with three shadows,
01:44of three hooded men who had guns,
01:47and everything started there because they threatened them with a gun,
01:51they tied them up, they covered their faces,
01:53and they were really very violent, demanding dollars.
01:57This was the only thing that mattered to the criminals.
02:00They stirred everything up, they turned the house upside down.
02:03It was, look, in this place, where we are showing you,
02:07is where they supported the ladder, a telescopic ladder,
02:09which when disarmed is very small and very light to carry,
02:13with which, for the criminals, it is a tool
02:16that really helps them a lot to get as far as they want.
02:20They spread it out, they climbed to the air conditioning protection,
02:24and there they already had access to the balcony,
02:26to this window on the first floor, where there is one,
02:29where one of the rooms is, and there, with a stick,
02:33they violated the window and entered, really, very, very easily.
02:37All three went up this ladder, another stayed here,
02:41and the fifth criminal in a car, in the corner,
02:44making a bell, as you said, with impunity,
02:48really, because they were an hour inside the house,
02:51and in addition to stirring everything, they took selfies,
02:54they played with the dogs, they opened the fridge,
02:57and they had at their disposal everything that was there.
02:59They even took a pack of soda,
03:01and what they took were 30 phones,
03:04which was the source of work of one of the boys,
03:07of one of the children, of the owners of this house,
03:10of this marriage, who was dedicated to that,
03:12also, in addition to his work, to sell cell phones.
03:15Maybe they had the data, because he published on social media
03:18the models he had, which were high-end models,
03:21and that's why, maybe, they got to this house.
03:26Maybe someone passed the data.
03:28Well, now everything is a matter of investigation,
03:30but nothing is known about these criminals,
03:32who also took the car of the family,
03:34which was parked here on the sidewalk,
03:37and it is the only thing that the police found so far,
03:39because they abandoned it in Ciudad Evita.
03:42They are the victims, some of the victims, of these criminals.
03:47We are in communication with Rocío.
03:49I'm going to leave you in contact with her,
03:51with her too, the criminals woke her up.
03:55So, you can talk to her now, Luis.
03:57Hello, Rocío, a big hug first.
04:03What can we do? What do you need?
04:04How can we help you?
04:07I want security.
04:11I imagine the scare you got
04:14while you were sleeping peacefully, right?
04:18Yes, terrible, to be sleeping,
04:20and that they enter you like this, out of nowhere,
04:23with an iron on your head.
04:26It was horrible.
04:27I imagine.
04:27That's how it was?
04:28I mean, they came in with the gun and pointed it at you.
04:30Did they point it directly at you?
04:33Of course, yes, yes, just like that.
04:36Were they...
04:37My sister was in underwear.
04:40They helped me get dressed.
04:44They told me, this clothes, no, this one.
04:46They gave me the one I wanted.
04:49And from there they grabbed my cell phone.
04:52They told me to leave it at zero.
04:55You had to erase everything, right?
04:57To reset it.
04:58So they could take it to sell.
05:00All right.
05:00But a level of impunity.
05:02They killed me with the charger.
05:03A level of monumental impunity.
05:05I mean, first, this thing almost like,
05:07like, like a waste of what you can wear or not.
05:11Then reset the cell phone so that they can take it...
05:13Just like that.
05:14Already prepared, right?
05:17Yeah, honestly.
05:19Violence.
05:20I couldn't believe it.
05:22First time something like that happened to them?
05:24They tied me up, they put me...
05:27First time they came in to rob you?
05:30Yes, first time.
05:32Totally.
05:33And they took...
05:34Horrible.
05:35Paula, my colleague said that you took 30 cell phones. What else did you take?
05:40Cell phones, gold, silver, backpack, perfume, music equipment, knife.
05:51Terrible.
05:52How long were you inside?
05:55They were there for an hour and a half.
05:59They took selfies. I couldn't believe it.
06:02They took selfies to show that you were stealing?
06:08Yes, I couldn't believe it.
06:13I heard your mother saying, I'm going to faint, I'm going to faint, and I don't know what to do.
06:19It was horrible.
06:21Tell me who was sleeping at home. Your mother, you, and who else?
06:25Mom, dad, brother, and me. There were four of us.
06:29Did they physically attack you?
06:33What?
06:34Did they hit you? Did they physically attack you?
06:37It was the issue with my brother. They hit my brother.
06:43Did you have prior information? Because it would give the feeling that it was not a robbery.
06:48Maybe you had information about the number of cell phones available for sale and that you were chosen by them.
06:55Yes.
06:57For me, they gave it to my brother.
06:59Of course.
07:00Because they knew everything.
07:02They took the courage to bring the ladder, to come behind me.
07:08They were watching me.
07:11Of course.
07:13Rocio, who came from the municipality of the province to give you a hand?
07:19Nobody.
07:20Where is the security? Nobody.
07:22We had to go on Facebook, Instagram, all the neighbors, because if not, well, thank you.
07:29And tell the governor, the governor, whoever you want, what would you like to tell him?
07:35Security, security, police, more action.
07:40Of course.
07:41How old are you? I'm going to be indiscreet. How old are you, Rocio?
07:4529.
07:47And what do you think? Do you think this is going to be corrected, that it is going to get worse? What do you see?
07:52Hopefully, God willing, God willing. We are workers.
07:59What do you work for?
08:02I work in a clothing store and in a kiosk.
08:06Humble.
08:08You work to pay taxes, for the day to day.
08:13You have two jobs, in a clothing store and in a kiosk?
08:18Yes.
08:20And how many hours do you work a day, Rocio?
08:26Four, then eight at night.
08:30So there is a day that you work 12 hours a day?
08:34Of course, yes. And now, unfortunately, with what happened, they took everything.
08:39We are without anything.
08:41And don't you feel like putting your arms down and sending everything to hell?
08:48No, you have to keep going, you have to keep going. Unfortunately, you have to keep going.
08:54What do you want to do when you are older?
09:00What do I want to do when I am older?
09:03What do I want to do when I am older?
09:10No, no, no, no, no words.
09:13And if you could, would you leave the neighborhood?
09:19No, no, no, why?
09:25Yes, live in peace.
09:29I need security.
09:35Did you set up a routine? I imagine that like all the neighbors of the place, there are times when you don't have to go out, places where you have to go. How is that in that area?
09:47And most people here go to work at 5 in the morning. Do you think they go out to work at dawn and that they are running?
09:55No.
09:57For me that is very strange.
10:00From what you could hear and see, were they younger guys, older?
10:07No, they were adults, they were adults.
10:10And they were?
10:12They were big.
10:14Let's see, how do I put it, were they sober, were they organized or were they half-naked?
10:19No, they came, they came, they were played, they already knew everything.
10:25But they were not under the effects of stupefaction, it did not give that feeling, it gave the feeling that they were half-naked.
10:32Yes, tell me, tell me.
10:34And they were all hooded, they should have been, with gloves.
10:40Ah, but they came, as I told you, as a gang.
10:43An organized gang, criminal.
10:45And they knew very well what they were going to do.
10:47And they knew very well what they were going to do, it is not the first robbery they do in the area.
10:50Total.
10:52Well, Paula, do you want to ask something else to Rocío or to the people who are there?
10:56Yes, look, I'm with Betty too, she is Rocío's mother, she was at that time.
11:02She asked the criminals to leave her sitting quietly because she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
11:10She broke down at that moment, she had to be calm.
11:13Imagine the situation, a tremendous stress.
11:16How did they live that moment, Betty?
11:18Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
11:21At first you thought, well, in you, because you were in this very particular situation, but you saw how they hit your son.
11:26Yes, yes, terrible, very ugly, very ugly, very ugly.
11:29Very ugly, very ugly.
11:31What did they say to you?
11:33No, he told me, calm down, calm down, calm down, he told me, he was spilling water on me.
11:37And as I saw that they were hitting my son, I told him, don't hit him, we don't have money.
11:42No, where is the money, where are the dollars, come on, or I'll cut your ...
11:46I'll shoot you in the leg, I'll cut your finger.
11:49An hour there, infinite.
11:52Horrible, horrible.
11:54It really was hell, what they lived.
11:58They cleaned the gun with your tool.
12:00Yes, it was incredible, I didn't know if I was going to cry, laugh, no.
12:04It was an ugly moment.
12:06Did they come to hit someone at some point?
12:08My brother, because they wanted dollars, they wanted dollars, dollars.
12:11There they covered my brother's whole face, you didn't look at me, you didn't look at me, and they gave him a slap.
12:16They threw soda at him, they broke his cell phone.
12:20No, it was incredible.
12:21They took out all his belongings, he works, we are all workers, you understand?
12:26And where is the police?
12:28All this happened, at 5 minutes a police officer, I couldn't believe it.
12:33No, outraged.
12:36I imagine, well, thank you Rocío, thank your mother.
12:39Obviously, thank your mother who is there, thank you Paula.
12:44If you wanted to say something Gustavo.
12:46No, no, no, I guess that's why they asked for the dollars.
12:48I guess they thought that all those cell phones that the boy sold were worth green notes.
12:56It's incredible, and look at what we always say Luis, those people are not asking for anything other than security.
13:03But nothing, we have been talking about this situation for so many years.
13:09And that is a neighborhood of low houses, a very traditional neighborhood in the area of Avellaneda.
13:16You are not far from Mitre Avenue, I mean, you are communicated with roads where there is a lot of traffic,
13:24but you are no longer sure, it gives the feeling, right?
13:27In no area of the Buenos Aires suburb.
13:30Sometimes, look, there it is, right?
13:32Sometimes, I say, we should have prepared an image of the Minister of Security.
13:37Personally, I can't talk to him, no, no.
13:41He decides not to speak, it is his right to do so, of course.
13:45And, Minister Alonso, he is 29 years old, there are days that he works 12 hours.
13:57And, something, the impression is that there is no way to move.
14:10He says, this is nothing personal, I have nothing personal, I don't know him, I don't even know who he is.
14:15Minister Alonso is functional, I claim.
14:18Nothing.
14:20He was not moved yesterday by the mother who lost her baby and was killed in the back.
14:27He is not moved by the deliveries that are self-organized to get into the places that his police says, here I do not enter.
14:35Nothing.
14:37It's all the same.
14:39Nothing.
