Helo friends. Today i am sharing a movie story of a real life heist. This is a netflix movie named" Baby Bandito". The story is about Kyon Olguin, a young skateboarder who starts his life as a tourist, traveling to famous places to provide a luxurious life for his wealthy girlfriend, Genesis (Francesca Armstrong). Ten years ago, during a heist at the airport, Kyon played a crucial role, ensuring the gang's escape by using spikes on the roads. He also cut a chain on a door inside the airport, helping the gang split into two groups.
During the investigation, the police found Kyon's fingerprints on the spikes and identified him. Kyon, at the time of the robbery, was only 21 years old. Surprisingly, he led the police to himself, becoming a suspect in the robbery. Born on May 26, 1993, in Quinta Normal, western Santiago, Kyon's full name is Kyon George Olguin Sepulveda.
In the Netflix series, he is portrayed as a young skateboarder making decisions to explore criminal life, aiming to provide a comfortable life for his girlfriend, Genesis. Approximately ten years ago, on the day of the heist, a van entered the cargo area of the airport through gate number 22 after 6 am.
The gang targeted cash bags being transferred to northern cities. As seen later on airport security cameras, armed individuals robbed the cash van, instilling fear, and escaped. The gang split into two groups outside the terminal, one heading north and the other south.
Kyon's role was crucial in the success of the heist. He placed spikes on the roads to secure the gang's escape. Additionally, he used a chain cutter, known as "Napoleon," to cut a chain on a door inside the airport. The marks left by the cutter on the chain became vital evidence for the police.
After the heist, Kyon left with his girlfriend and friends for a tour, exploring different countries. They visited Caribbean countries and captured moments at various European locations, sharing their presence on social media. Photos posted on Facebook became crucial evidence for the police, aiding in Kyon's capture.
After months of search, the police traced Kyon. In July 2018, the Chilean police arrested Kyon in the southwestern part of Santiago, where he was hiding inside a house. He was found with a pistol, gun magazines, various cartridges, and a bulletproof jacket.
Later, Kyon faced legal issues related to looting a truck of a tobacco company. He was sentenced to 61 days in prison, later reduced to 81 hours of community service due to his clean record and young age.
After serving his sentence, Kyon resumed his life. In June 2021, he was involved in an incident known as "Penguin Sentence" during an airport heist in Santiago. Eventually, he was arrested on various charges. However, Kyon's life took a different turn after his release, and he is now living a free life with his wife Amber and daughter.
This story reflects Kyon Olguin's real-life journey, often referred to as the "Baby Bandito," and how life always presents new opportunities for reflection.
