The Yopal taxi drivers’ union managed to capture two of the four individuals identified as responsible for a robbery of a taxi driver that occurred minutes earlier in the Ciudadela La Bendiciones. These subjects were recognized by members of the union, who identified them in the same modality of pretending to need a race to strip the driver of his valuables and the day’s produce.
After being identified, the individuals, apparently residents in the La Fortaleza sector, fled. Two men and two women took refuge in a commercial establishment, where they threatened several taxi drivers with knives. Given this situation, one of the taxi drivers was forced to use a traumatic weapon to neutralize the criminals and minimize the threat, managing to recover the knives they had taken from the commercial establishment.
The two individuals were handed over to the authorities for their respective prosecution, while the two women fled. The taxi drivers union reported the incident in the hope that the criminals will not be released.
Given the increase in assaults on taxi drivers and the general security situation in the municipality, this union called on the municipal administration of Marco Tulio Ruiz to express itself regarding the measures that it will implement to counteract criminal actions. .
