In the Grito de La Libertad sector of the Venus del Río Quevedo urban parish, in Los Ríos, the alleged leader of the criminal organization ‘Los Choneros’ was captured.
The Quevedo District Police indicated that the capture occurred after an operation that was carried out on the night of Thursday, March 10.
Darwin Guevera, head of the Quevedo – Mocache district, reported the arrest of Marlon XUS, alias Latin King, alleged leader of Los Choneros. Manuel E., Xavier C., and Bolívar L. were detained with him. They confronted the Police with bullets when they realized the police and military presence.
The police chief reported that once they were captured, they were taken to the police station to await the flagrancy qualification hearing.
“We have indications and data that alias Latin King would be the leader of Los Choneros. This has to be confirmed by the Prosecutor’s Office. What we are sure of is that they are members of that criminal organization,” said the uniformed man.
Among the evidence seized are firearms, ammunition and even shooting practice silhouettes.
The Police presumes that they would be preparing assassins who operate in Quevedo and the country.
The evidence includes 1 AK29 9-millimeter submachine gun, 40 9-millimeter ammunition, 1 HK magazine, 2 9-millimeter submachine gun magazines, 20 5.56-millimeter cartridges, 1 7.62 cartridge, 1 9-millimeter pistol magazine, 42 target practice silhouettes and various doses of controlled substances.
