Teen Arrested After High-Speed Chase Following $1.6 Million Robbery in La Florida, Chile

A 17-year-old was arrested in La Florida, Chile, following a high-speed chase after a home robbery that netted the thieves $1.6 million in stolen goods. The incident occurred Tuesday night when officers from the 61st Precinct, accompanied by municipal personnel, observed a group of individuals leaving a residence with stolen items. "They tried to flee in a vehicle," stated a police spokesperson, "but we initiated a controlled pursuit." The chase ended on Tobalaba Avenue and Las Higueras Street with the arrest of a juvenile identified as V.J.G.S., who has a criminal record for previous robberies. Adding to the intrigue, the vehicle used in the robbery was found to have a stolen license plate and was itself reported stolen from the nearby commune of La Granja. The swift apprehension of the suspect and the recovery of the vehicle highlight the effectiveness of joint police and municipal patrols in crime prevention.
