The two arrested apparently would be responsible for collecting money from extortions against a merchant in the Ariari region for about five million pesos, in exchange for not attacking his life or that of his family
In the course of military operations in the context of Operation Pedro Pascasio Mart铆nez, in a joint work with troops of the National Army and the National Police, two alleged members of a common criminally group were arrested.
The Army troops arrived at a house in the Montoya Pava neighborhood of this municipality of Meta; there the arrest of the two individuals was made.
In this place cash by 5,000,000 million pesos, two cell phones and a motorcycle were seized; this material was put into custody of the Attorney General's Office.
This result contributes to the institutional control of the territory, restoring tranquility to the region, preventing the inhabitants from being victims of crimes such as extortion.
