Buenos Aires: Car thieves fell for a woman but bitterly regretted it (video)

Video has captured the shocking moment two motorcycle-riding robbers attempt to rob a woman on the streets of Argentina, just to deal with… karma.

The brave police officer, dressed in plainclothes, prevented the attack by opening fire on the attackers in Buenos Aires, according to the Carlos Paz Vivo news agency.

Both suspects, aged 18 and 19, were subsequently arrested by police, the Daily Mail reported.

What exactly happened

The dramatic scene unfolded at the intersection of General Manuel Savio and Bradley Streets in Quilmes, Buenos Aires.

One of the thieves is seen getting off his bike and moving towards the victim.

The police officer then quickly drew her service weapon and fired three times.

The first bullet hit the approaching thief, who immediately collapsed. The policewoman who had fallen down quickly got up and quickly turned her aim towards the other criminal who was still on the motorcycle.

The gunfire successfully stopped the robbery attempt and forced the criminals to flee.

The police officer managed to escape without injury.

They were arrested at the hospital

The robbers were arrested when they sought hospital treatment for gunshot wounds.

A few minutes after the incident, a young man matching the description of one of the attackers arrived at the Iriarte Hospital.

And later that day, Almirante Brown’s staff reported that another man, with a small wound on his left arm, had been admitted to Oñativia Hospital in Rafael Calzada.
