The National Civil Police reported the arrest of three people, alleged members of the criminal gang called “Los Quichelenses”, through a search that was carried out in the Santa Marta neighborhood, zone 5 of Mixco.
The official report indicates that a property broke into compliance with a search warrant in 0 Avenue B and 5th Street of Zone 5 of Mixco, which allowed the capture of the suspects and evidence that links them with the looting of a trade.
The four detainees, of 20, 23, 48 and 54 are indicated of having participated in the theft of a winery between April 12 and 14 in the 3rd Avenue and 16 street in Zone 1.
One of the detainees has a history in the police database per extortion, and an outstanding order pending for the same reason, issued on January 27 by a Mixco court.
Another of the now detained also has a history of guilty homicide, attacking with injuries, aggravated robbery and aggravated theft.
In the place of the search, the police located tools that would have used the suspects to open a gap on a wall and thus enter the merchandise area to steal the equivalent of some Q500 thousand.
A truck type vehicle was also located in the raided property, in which they believed they loaded with the merchandise and a sedan vehicle, in which they would have moved.
In coordination with the Public Ministry, part of the merchandise that is suspected was also stolen by the group.
The catches are part of an investigation that began with the victim’s complaint. The researchers got images of the security cameras of nearby real estate to be able to locate the suspects.
