[Japanese victim] Snatched on Florida Street in Buenos Aires

Sept. 12, 2025, 1:25 a.m.
[Main text]
We would like to inform you that a Japanese national has been the victim of a theft, as follows:

1. Overview of the incident (1) Date and time: Thursday, August 7, 2025, around 2:00 p.m. (2) Location: Florida Street, Buenos Aires (3) Victim and details of the damage: Japanese national (male), passport, US dollar cash (4) Situation at the time of the incident: The victim was walking along Florida Street in Buenos Aires when he was stopped by a money changer standing on the street. In the short time they were talking, another person snatched his passport and US dollar cash from the backpack he was carrying.
During the crime, the money changer did not inform the victim that he was being snatched, and when the victim felt a tug on his backpack, he turned around to find that the perpetrator had already fled.

2. Crime Prevention Measures (1) Particularly in tourist areas and along major streets, so-called illegal money exchangers stand on the street and call out to passersby, "cambio, cambio." By using these services, users are often led to less popular areas where they exchange money containing counterfeit bills, or encounter problems due to negotiation failures, causing harm to users.
(2) In addition, as in this case, crimes are often committed by groups of perpetrators who attract the victim's attention during a conversation and then, in that brief moment, have another perpetrator snatch the victim's belongings.
(3) To avoid unnecessary trouble, we recommend that you exchange money at a bank or a brick-and-mortar exchange office.
Additionally, if you stop on the street to talk to a money changer, you run a higher risk of becoming a target, so it is important to be vigilant and take care of your belongings.
