A 26-year-old man returning home from work was intercepted by two motorcycle robbers in Ñemby early Saturday and forced to surrender his motorcycle.

The robbery occurred at about 5:20 a.m. on Lapacho Street near Caaguazú Avenue, in the Caaguazú neighborhood. Matías Rubén Cáceres Samaniego had been returning from his job at a supermarket in Ypané when he noticed a motorcycle apparently following him for several blocks.

According to the report from the 55th Vista Alegre police station, Cáceres turned onto a cobbled street and tried to speed up to reach home. The suspects eventually caught up with him. The victim said two men were riding a GL-type motorcycle. One wore a white hood and the other was dressed in black.

The passenger got off and demanded the motorcycle. Cáceres told police that the man displayed an object he assumed was a firearm, prompting him to hand over the vehicle. The robbers fled with a red 2024 Kenton GL 125, registered to the victim. They did not take his backpack, which contained his mobile phone and personal documents.

Police accompanied Cáceres while officers checked nearby security cameras. Investigators believe the footage could help identify the suspects and trace their movements before and after the robbery. The case will be sent to the Ñemby Prosecutor’s Office and the Police Operations Center to help locate the motorcycle. Subcommissioner Nelson Quiñónez said officers had received other reports of stolen motorcycles in recent days, including cases in which GPS devices helped police recover vehicles.

The passenger got off and demanded that I hand over my motorcycle.
