Police arrest three youths with stolen car; one was missing

Police in Mariano Roque Alonso, Paraguay, apprehended three young men early Saturday morning following a pursuit. The operation resulted in the recovery of a stolen Toyota Allion and a valuable tool reported stolen from a local tire shop. The detainees include two individuals with significant criminal histories and a 19-year-old who had been reported missing by his family.

The incident began when a police patrol noticed the suspicious behavior of the occupants in the silver Toyota Allion. When signaled to stop for a routine check, the driver sped away, leading to a short chase that ended on Pirizal Street. The three occupants, all Paraguayan nationals, were identified as Kevin Daniel Troche Villamayor, 22, with prior convictions for theft and facing several judicial restrictions; Sergio Kevin Garay Garay, 29, also subject to restrictions including prohibitions on carrying weapons and leaving the country; and Rodrigo Damián Rolón Curtido, 19.

Rolón Curtido, despite having no criminal record, was the subject of a search and location order, having been formally reported missing by his family, according to police chief Juan Servían. The Toyota Allion was confirmed stolen from the jurisdiction of the 9th Police Station in Limpio. Inside the vehicle, officers found a Toptul impact wrench, valued at approximately 3.5 million guaraníes.

Investigators believe the detainees match the physical descriptions of individuals who had robbed a tire shop owned by Ernaldo Luis Jara in the La Concordia neighborhood hours earlier. Fiscal Gladys Paredes has ordered the three to remain in police custody pending charges for the tire shop robbery. Fiscal Víctor Villaverde is handling the stolen vehicle case and has ordered the Toyota Allion to be officially returned to its owner.
