Parcel delivery van, cell phones, watches stolen in Pedro Juan Caballero robbery

A brazen daylight robbery has shaken Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay, as assailants targeted a parcel delivery company. The thieves made off with a van, along with a significant quantity of cell phones and watches, according to the National Police.

The incident occurred when individuals in a car intercepted the company's van. They used weapons to intimidate the occupants before seizing the vehicle and its contents. Reports indicate that eight boxes of cell phones, watches, and other unspecified items were taken.

Among the victims was Fabio Junior, son of Fabio “Chacho” Alcaraz, a former Futsal world champion with the Paraguayan national team in 2003 and one of the company's owners. He lamented the growing insecurity and the substantial economic losses incurred by the business. Alcaraz noted that the perpetrators appeared to be young Paraguayans, based on their use of the Guaraní language.

Police have launched an investigation, collecting data and examining closed-circuit television footage in an effort to identify the robbers and bring them before the law.
