Woman's robbery attempt ends in semi-nudity after struggle with store owner

A woman's attempt to rob a store in San Justo, Santa Fe, took an embarrassing turn when she was caught in the act by the owner, leading to a struggle that left her partially undressed. The incident, captured on security cameras, showed the woman stealing money from the cash register before being confronted by the owner, Graciela Rolón.

She entered at twenty to eight and asked me for a drink. When I turned around, she started grabbing the cash register. As soon as I saw her, I ran and started struggling with her so she wouldn't steal the money. That's when everything captured by the cameras happened.

As Rolón grappled with the thief, holding onto her hoodie, the struggle caused the thief's clothing to become dislodged, leaving her semi-nude. The video of the encounter quickly went viral on social media.

Once it was over, I chased her for a few blocks but couldn't catch her. When I called the police to come to the store, they said a patrol would come in a while. In that interval, this woman returned to the store. She came to threaten me not to spread the video and broke one of the windows.

Later, the same woman returned to the store, demanding that Rolón delete the video footage. This second confrontation escalated, resulting in a broken shop window and the intervention of neighbors who detained the woman until the police arrived. Rolón expressed her frustration and helplessness, stating that despite security measures like bars, alarms, and cameras, such incidents continue to occur.

What do you want me to say? I keep receiving messages from people who expressed their solidarity with me for what I experienced this morning. They were two horrible episodes.
