00:00There we see Personal, the owner of the truck,
00:06working on security issues.
00:11And on the route that this official truck was making,
00:17he detects motorcyclists who had stolen
00:22two young people who were screaming for help on the street.
00:26There is the motorcycle.
00:31The truck is going to chase them
00:36to try to stop the two motorcyclists.
00:39And it turns out that the person on board the truck
00:43is none other than the Minister of Security of the province of Cordoba,
00:49Juan Pablo Quinteros,
00:52who had come to work on security issues
00:56of a party that was being held there in Cordoba.
01:01We are with Quinteros. How are you? Good afternoon.
01:03Quinteros, thank you for this contact.
01:05How are you? Good afternoon. How are you? A pleasure.
01:07Well, you have become a protagonist,
01:10knowing how to chase criminals in this case.
01:12Well, I have the habit and the style of accompanying our police
01:18in all police operations.
01:20Yesterday, basically, we had been in the Alverde stadium
01:24covering the party, doing security
01:26and when we came back, effectively,
01:28in the Patio Olmo area, very in the center of Cordoba,
01:30a desperate couple, a desperate young couple,
01:33stops us.
01:35The truck is very identifiable, the one of the Ministry,
01:37in which I move.
01:39Indicating to me that they had taken away
01:42a kidney with a cell phone.
01:44His partner, the person who was with him,
01:47with her, had the georeference of the cell phone
01:50because it was an iPhone that had the georeference
01:52in an instant way, the geolocation.
01:56And as we knew where he was going,
01:59I offered him that if they wanted, I would take him
02:02and we would look for the place.
02:04That is, they get in the couple, the truck,
02:06it is the image that we are seeing,
02:08they get in the couple and begin to follow
02:10the geolocation of that iPhone
02:12until they find the criminals.
02:14Indeed, at one point, the motorcycle,
02:16the criminal first goes alone,
02:19goes to a neighborhood in Cordoba,
02:20looks for an accomplice,
02:22apparently to continue stealing.
02:24At one point we crossed paths
02:26because we knew where he was coming from.
02:28And well, there we did a chase.
02:30Of course, I, on my cell phone,
02:32in my truck, I was frequently giving police,
02:35with which I was already informing the police
02:37where they were.
02:39And I took the person, basically,
02:41because one is the victim and the other
02:43was the one who was indicating to me
02:45what the geolocation was to follow him.
02:47They returned, they arrived in a neighborhood
02:48that was quite far from the place
02:50where they had committed the crime,
02:52Barrio La Madrid.
02:54Of course, the police had already
02:56set up an operation Cerrojo.
02:58We achieved the apprehension of the subjects,
03:00of both subjects, the kidnapping of the motorcycle,
03:02which already had a kidnapping request
03:04precisely for a crime committed in Carlos Paz.
03:06We recovered the cell phone
03:08and prevented these two people
03:10from continuing to commit crimes.
03:12You will know how much they had committed in the day,
03:14how much more they were going to commit,
03:16and fortunately they are already in prison
03:18for this crime.
03:20Thank you very much, Leo Godoy.
03:22After this consultation,
03:24obviously the issue of motorcycles
03:26became a problem everywhere.
03:28How are you working
03:30with respect to that situation?
03:32Well, we are working
03:34regarding the situation
03:36of the motorcycle thieves,
03:38as other colleagues from other districts
03:40work on it, because this is a problem
03:42that is not of Cordoba.
03:44You graph it at every moment
03:46and show it at every moment
03:48and in fact, we have kidnapped
03:50countless motorcycles,
03:52thousands of motorcycles in recent months.
03:54The last record we had,
03:56we had 2,500 motorcycles kidnapped.
03:58But I will give you a piece of information.
04:00In the city of San Francisco,
04:02on Friday, we carried out
04:04an inter-force operation
04:06with the Federal Forces
04:08within the framework of the 9010 program
04:10that we are implementing
04:12with the national government
04:14for the reduction of homicide
04:16and violence related to the same
04:18type of motorcycle.
04:20You will realize that
04:22in the city of San Francisco
04:24and in the city of Cordoba,
04:26the kidnappings are multiplied
04:28by thousands, but well,
04:30they continue to appear
04:32and there is a modality
04:34that we attack strongly
04:36with random night controls
04:38in places where usually
04:40the police did not make
04:42preventive controls
04:44and we carry motorcycles
04:46regularly and constantly
04:48and we have been doing this
04:50since last week.
04:52You are telling me that
04:54the plan that is already active
04:56with the different ministries
04:58of the province
05:00is in function
05:02in connection with the ministry
05:04of Patricia Bullrich of the nation.
05:06Yes, indeed,
05:08when I assumed as minister
05:10on December 10, 2023,
05:12the first agreement I signed
05:14was with Minister Patricia Bullrich
05:16of intervention of the Federal Forces.
05:18We have already signed
05:20with the Federal Forces
05:22of the province of Cordoba,
05:24Rosario Cava
05:26and some sectors
05:28of the province of Buenos Aires.
05:30In Cordoba it is already working,
05:32we have already carried out
05:34the operative number 25
05:36that we do.
05:38The police force of the anti-drug traffic,
05:40our police force
05:42of the province of Cordoba,
05:44two provincial forces,
05:46Federal Police,
05:48one week or five
05:50in different points, of course.
05:52I plan it a week
05:54for each of the forces.
05:56It works very well,
05:58we have kidnapped not only motorcycles
06:00but we have found people
06:02with capture orders,
06:04we have kidnapped many weapons.
06:06Last weekend we kidnapped
06:08two shotgun weapons
06:10that caught our attention
06:12because we came with traditional
06:14and conventional shotgun weapons
06:16in a sector of villas
06:18that belonged to the police force.
06:20This is a program that is working.
06:22Cordoba had five homicides
06:24last January
06:26and a 58% less than last January
06:28so this program is obviously
06:30working.
06:32This is one of the programs
06:34that we are doing
06:36and there is more intervention
06:38in the territory.
06:40We not only do a vehicle control
06:42with the forces,
06:44but we occupy all the neighborhoods
06:46of the surroundings
06:48and we put patrols
06:50and police vehicles
06:52also from the motorized
06:54to patrol the neighborhoods
06:56and there we have also kidnapped
06:58marijuana plantations,
07:00we have kidnapped drugs.
07:02Well, the truth is that it has been working very well.
07:04Quintero, I want to highlight
07:06just one more question
07:08because in this act
07:10that you have just carried out
07:12in getting involved
07:14as you have done other times,
07:16there are antecedents
07:18because sometimes in other latitudes
07:20and in other jurisdictions
07:22we have many robberies
07:24that have to do with cell phones
07:26that have incorporated technology
07:28that allow tracking
07:30that allow the victim
07:32to file a police report
07:34and say, look, I have the geolocation
07:36of the place, where is it?
07:38And they say, no, look, I can't,
07:40I really need an order
07:42from a prosecutor,
07:44but it is here, look,
07:46I tell you where it is,
07:48the whole country,
07:50from Cordoba to the country
07:52and to the world,
07:54they are seeing that if you want, you can.
07:56So there, where a simple cell phone was stolen
07:58in a corner and you found
08:00a nervous couple
08:02affected by that situation,
08:04he could get in the truck,
08:06he would have had the support
08:08and monitoring that the situation also required
08:10because he is not a cowboy
08:12or a lonely janitor
08:14who irresponsibly played it alone
08:16or here there was a teamwork
08:18and there was also a stolen motorcycle,
08:20so it also breaks a myth.
08:22Yes, because there is more, Bobby,
08:24I already give it to the minister.
08:26The theft of the cell phone
08:28is just the first link
08:30of some crimes that come to be linked
08:32because notice what Quinteros told us,
08:34these people went to look for another
08:36to continue stealing.
08:38Yes, let me reflect
08:40on what you said
08:42which is very important.
08:44First of all, the involvement
08:46of the officials has to be total.
08:48The police in the street,
08:50all the merit of yesterday
08:52of the police of the province of Cordoba,
08:54all I did was fulfill my duty
08:56that was in the face of the desperate situation
08:58of two children who stole their cell phone,
09:00many will think it was a lot, a little,
09:02but for them it was very distressing.
09:04Apart from the situation of the robbery,
09:06the first reaction I had
09:08when they told me I know where it is,
09:10is to get into the truck
09:12in which I was moving,
09:14I was going to my home
09:16and get together
09:18with my parents
09:20and I said,
09:21but I want to go to my home,
09:23and I said no,
09:24I want to go inside the house,
09:26and I went out
09:28and in that car
09:30the police attacked me
09:32from the inside,
09:33the police sent me to a room
09:35and they did this,
09:37the police did this,
09:39it happened to us,
09:41to us that we were still
09:43in the car
09:45and that we were going inside
09:46I've been committing the same crimes, and they've already been committing the same crimes.
