Armed Robbers Steal Meat and Cash in Violent Assault on Paraguayan Supermarket

A brazen armed robbery occurred at a Biggie convenience store in Luque, Paraguay, as four individuals stormed the premises, making off with cash and packaged meat. The incident, captured on security cameras, took place on May 23 at approximately 5:40 PM local time.

According to police reports, three suspects entered the store armed with long and short firearms, while a fourth waited in the getaway vehicle. They subdued store personnel and fled with an estimated 1,200,000 Paraguayan Guarani (approximately $160 USD) and several kilograms of vacuum-sealed meat. A customer's cell phone was also stolen during the assault.

Authorities were able to track the stolen phone via GPS to a vacant lot near the airport, where it is believed to have been discarded by the robbers. The black Toyota Corolla used in the heist was later found abandoned in Limpio. Police confirmed the vehicle had been reported stolen on May 15, just a week before the Biggie robbery.

While store employees initially reported that one person was injured by a firearm, police investigations at local hospitals yielded no official reports of injuries related to the incident. The case is now under investigation by prosecutor Jorge Escobar.
