Javier Vidal, a Venezuelan national, was captured this Saturday morning, November 23, by the police after an exchange of photos that took place in police mode that happened in the area of Sabanas. A man who has not yet been identified by the authorities died in the incident.
According to information provided by the Valledupar Metropolitan Police, it seems that the subjects stole a vehicle from a surveyor in the department of Sucre, which was found by GPS by its owner.
“One person dies in the exchange of gunfire. The vehicle was stolen from a contractor in the department of Sucre and they fled towards the town of Valledupar and here, through satellite tracking, they managed to stop it“said Colonel Alex Durán, head of the Valledupar Metropolitan Police.
When they arrived in the capital of Cesar, they ignored the STOP sign at a police checkpoint and entered Cesar Popular University, taking advantage of the fact that the gate of the educational center was open where they hit them into some panels.
“The vehicle ignores the STOP sign and an exchange of gunfire takes place. The vehicle enters the UPC and hits some solar panels. “We have a captured person, a captured firearm,” he said.
The Venezuelan citizen was transferred to Valledupar URI. In the next few hours he will be presented before a warrant control judge to legalize the seizure. At the same time, the criminal force conducts an exhumation procedure to identify the deceased.
