  • Police in Ypané recovered a stolen motorcycle after its owner provided GPS tracking data through the 911 emergency system.
  • Officers arrested five people at a home and seized four additional motorcycles whose occupants could not document their origin.
  • One detainee had an outstanding arrest warrant in an aggravated theft case and was under house arrest in another theft case, police said.

A GPS signal led Paraguayan police to a home in Ypané, where they recovered a stolen motorcycle and arrested five people during a nighttime operation.

The procedure began at about 8:30 p.m. after the victim reported the theft through the 911 system. The motorcyclist gave police the vehicle’s details and the exact location shown by the tracking device. Officers from the Grupo Lince went to the address after being alerted by the 23rd Central Police Station in Ypané.

Police found the blue Buler Faiter 200 cc motorcycle, bearing registration 176 ABMM, parked inside the property. They entered the home and detained the five people present. Officers also seized four other motorcycles: a white Kenton GTR 150 LTD, a red Kenton GL 200, a black Kenton DKRE 200 and a blue 2024 Kenton GTR 200.

None of the four additional motorcycles had an active theft report or search notice, according to the police report. However, the people at the property could not produce documents proving where the motorcycles came from. Officers also noticed that some had their license plates removed, bent or damaged. Chassis numbers checked in the police system showed no irregularities so far.

Subofficer Marcos Gómez said police suspected the motorcycles belonged to the detainees, but none could document their origin. One of those arrested, 19-year-old Eder de Jesús Vera Colmán, had an arrest warrant in an alleged aggravated theft case handled by the Ñemby prosecutor’s office. Police also said he was under house arrest for aggravated theft in Itauguá. The other four detainees were adults with no recorded criminal history, according to the officers.

We presume that the motorcycles belong to the people who were arrested, although none of them could justify their origin with documents.
