Three hooded men broke into a house in the Santa Isabel neighborhood of Katueté, Canindeyú, and held two women hostage for nearly two hours. They took about 28 million guaranis in cash, made bank transfers of approximately 29.4 million guaranis, and fled in a Volkswagen Saveiro. Police recovered the vehicle abandoned in a cornfield and arrested Antonio Varela Giret, owner of one of the accounts used in the transfers.
