A white SUV is stopped by an alleged police officer in a sector of La Alborada, in the north of Guayaquil. The officer pretends to check the front of the car and goes to the driver’s door.
When the driver’s door is opened, a red car appears and cuts into the front of the SUV. From there some subjects get off trying to get the driver out of the car. The supposed policeman, who wears a helmet and radios, participates in that action.
As that happens, another jeep arrives reversing. There they try to get on the driver, who resists.
In another video it is observed that the driver’s companion is lowered and they also try to get him up, but he resists despite the fact that the subjects who want to kidnap him beat him. The one who pretends to be a policeman is included in that action.
