Another military unit was the scene of a confusing incident to be linked to an act of insecurity. On Tuesday, an expensive imported car, with armed men on board, was chased at high speed down the runway of the air base of El Palomar, where lie the presidential aircraft for security vans and Air Force patrolman Buenos Aires police, before the car shot down a fence and escape the premises.
While there was no shooting, the intruders were in a moment face to face with the guard of military pre-emption, pointing guns. Police personnel 6a. Moron investigating the fact that the Condor Building was rated as the act of common criminals who had tried to steal in the military district adjacent to the base.
The Ministry of Defence would not comment on the strange event, in addition to abnormal succession of weapons stolen bases and barracks by grave circumstances have not yet been explained by authorities.
Past the 22 on Tuesday, high-end car, the sources said it would be an Audi stopped in front of a guard post at the base, located in one of the entrances of the neighborhood in which they live and noncommissioned officers of the Air Force. Just before the place had passed another vehicle, whose members stated they had been harassed by the aggressor in the street car which gives entry to the military. Stopping in front of two junior officers who were on duty, one of the luxury car's occupants got out with a gun in his hand and pointed to the men of the Air Force.
As the guards reacted crouching and pointing turn their guns at the attacker, he shouted: "I am police, surrender their weapons!". Another cry was the response of the noncommissioned officers' show ID! ". Seconds followed by insults and nervousness cross, used by the guard time to alert. The man got into the vehicle and then began another phase of the fact that it becomes more worrying: the car accelerated and introduced into the base.
A police patrol was passing through Buenos Aires which incidentally the place was first called by the guards attacked and launched a persecution within the lining military. The intruders roamed the area at the time closest to the flight deck, where they parked the Tango 01 and other aircraft in the presidential fleet. The car which became the property illegally picked up speed to be pursued by the patrol vans and Air Force.
In an attempt to corral the intruders were closed the gates of entry to the base, but incredibly pursued the vehicle faced a fence near the passenger terminal collapsed LADE and irons without losing even speed and control. Thus, he managed to escape.
After the incident was reinforced perimeter guard and took the decision to install surveillance cameras at checkpoints all the bases, military sources confirmed.
abnormal situations"It was very strange," said those who know the base and see no logical arguments to the action of these intruders. The military environment is very sensitive to recent thefts of weapons in bases and barracks and they had no judicial decision or even political explanations.
From the very basis of the Palomar 20,000 were stolen ammunition in January, but official information is that not all the bullets were able to be used. At the end of last year's coup offenders, domestic support, was in the EW group Aeroparque, where 30 guns were stolen 9 mm and five light machine guns. Last week was arrested in Villa Lugano a criminal to attempt an assault with a gun similar to those drawn in the military garrison and Justice is investigating the source of the weapon seized.
However, the most worrisome weapons theft occurred at the battalion 603 of the Army stockpile. Last month, it was discovered that 400 were missing FAL rifles, machine gun fire support MAG-five heavy machine guns. This is a quantity of arms beyond any need of fire common criminal gangs. An example will clear the doubts: it is all the weapons of infantry regiment can be found in Argentina.
White illogicalWhile military sources claim that the incident in El Palomar was the result of criminals, the fact has similarities with what happened last August in the brigade command Monte XII, in Posadas, where intruders also threatened a guard post and were rejected, in the midst of a shooting, at that time.
In El Palomar no exchanges of fire, but caught the attention of investigators that the offender got off the car and pointing directly at the NCO on duty, because if the goal was to rob the occupants of shot above is not a practical move to change from white to armed military personnel.
addition, the power of the vehicle used, Audi investigators believe he was shielded, was also appealing to military surprised by the boldness of the offenders.
Since this is a military base, the complaint was filed in federal court.
