A man was arrested in Portoviejo carrying a submachine gun in the center of the city of Portoviejo.

The capture was recorded this Friday morning on Alajuela Avenue and Chile Street, near the Eloy Alfaro Coliseum.

Following a complaint, police officers approached Oswaldo Jairon TC, who acted nervous when he was intercepted by police officers.

When checking a backpack that the suspect was carrying, the weapon was found inside.

Rodny Chávez, chief of Subzone 13 of the Manabí Police, indicated that the apprehended had two judicial records: one in 2010 for drug possession and in 2013 for a crime against property.

In several criminal acts registered this year in Manabí, the use of submachine guns has been recurrent.

Until the beginning of this month, there were more than 180 violent deaths throughout the province. (I)
