The Reward for Information
The Government of the Province of Salta has announced a substantial $10,000,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Jonatan Jordan Peloc, alias “Cambodia”. Peloc escaped from General Alcaidía 1 last Saturday and remains a fugitive. At 41 years old, he is charged with aggravated homicide, raising serious concerns among residents.
Details of the Escape
Peloc’s escape occurred early on April 4 from pavilion A1 of the Alcaidía. At this time, there are no official details regarding the circumstances enabling his escape. He was held in preventive detention due to a homicide case involving the use of firearms that took place in the High Tension neighborhood on November 15, 2024.
The provincial government formalized the reward through Decree No. 178, intending to strengthen the search for Peloc and alleviate public fears. Authorities reassured that confidentiality will be maintained for any individuals who provide leads.
Security Measures and Internal Investigation
Following Peloc’s escape, questions have arisen regarding the adequacy of security measures at General Warden 1. An internal investigation has begun to analyze the escape’s causes and enhance safety protocols. This incident has prompted skepticism about the prison’s management and effectiveness.
This isn’t Peloc’s first offense; he was previously apprehended after eluding capture for over a year, marked by a national and international arrest warrant.
Overview of the Crime
The crime linked to Peloc dates back to November 15, 2024, when a violent incident unfolded in the High Tension neighborhood of the city of Juju. During a family gathering, Peloc got involved in a dispute where he brandished a firearm and later returned with accomplices to intimidate locals. The gunfire resulted in a tragic outcome: a 24-year-old man was fatally injured, and several others suffered serious injuries.
In total, his actions not only scarred the victims but also alarmed the neighborhood, leading to extensive judicial investigations employing various forensic techniques.
As the search continues for Peloc, who has evaded capture once again, community safety hangs in the balance, underscoring the urgent need for effective law enforcement and prison security measures.
