Agents from the 9th Police Station of Limpio arrested Jorge Daniel Samudio, nicknamed “Freddy Mercurie”, Marcelo Fabián Espinoza and José Luis Cubilla, a retired non-commissioned officer of the Armed Forces who worked as a security supervisor. The three are accused of robbing two service stations in the city.
Samudio, who bears no physical resemblance to the Queen vocalist aside from the mustache, was already known to police for prior convictions of aggravated theft and simple theft. Espinoza had no criminal record. Cubilla, at the time of the crimes, drove the vehicle used to reach the stations.
The suspects were located in the same car used in the robberies. With them, police seized a firearm with intact cartridges and other evidence related to the offenses.
