Two Ecuadorian citizens, originally from Quito, were rescued by police personnel from the National Anti-Kidnapping and Extortion Investigation Unit (Join) and the Special Operations Group (GOE), with support from Colombian military intelligence, on the northern border.
The nationals were allegedly kidnapped on December 9 and transferred to the trails that connect Tulcán and Ipiales, along the road that connects the populated center of the capital of Carche with the international bridge of Rumichaca.
The kidnappers would have mobilized the victims to the chapel in the Peña Blanca sector and then descended to the international limit of the Carchi river to hide them in a hut.
In the police operation carried out last Sunday, it was possible to free both citizens and apprehend the 23-year-old Venezuelan citizen Camilo Andres A., who at that time was responsible for guarding the detainees.
The immobilized evidence includes a firearm (revolver), a machete, four 22-caliber cartridges.
It transpired that this plagiarism is attributed to the criminal gangs that operate in these places on the Colombian-Ecuadorian border. (I)
