According to local media sources, a company in Buenos Aries has lost approximately $2 million worth of finished leather, destined for export to China, after a group of about 20 armed thieves overcame security guards and workers before making off in five trucks.

This latest crime is one of a spate of similar robberies which appear to be targeting leather companies. Several weeks ago another local company was the victim of a similar crime, although the leather was less valuable as it was unfinished, and the police did recover the stolen goods.
