Several violent crimes took place in the departments of Montevideo, Canelones and Rocha.

A party at the Costa Azul beach resort in Rocha ended with a young man killed in the middle of a fight, for which the prosecutor’s office charged two Argentinian citizens.

In Canelones two individuals entered a store and shot the owner, her partner and her son without saying a word.

Police ask for the collaboration of the population for the capture of Claudio Andrés Cancelo, with several criminal records, who is linked to the triple homicide.

On Christmas Eve, a young man was riddled with bullets in front of his house in Flor de Maroñas, a neighborhood of this capital.

The house was indicated as a place where marijuana was sold.

That same night, in the neighborhood of Peñarol, a teenager was shot in the thorax while playing with her friends.

It is presumed that she was the victim of shots fired by an individual against a moving car.

Christmas Eve was also bad in Puntas de Mangas, Montevideo.

The body of a woman was found there, showing signs of torture.

A few meters further on, in an abandoned house, the police found another body.

It was that of a man whose throat had been slit.
