This weekend, a police operation surprised people living at the foot of the Salado Estuary, at the intersection of 21st Street and Chambers Lane, in the suburbs of Guayaquil.
Police arrived in the area and raided a vine house a few meters from the water, where they found more than 20,000 Camaretas hiding.
Uniformed police investigating the incident said explosives (camaretas) were used to terrorize commercial premises for extortion purposes.
There were 200 packages stored in the house, each containing 100 boxes, totaling 20,000 of these explosives.
The evidence was handed over to the Group of Intervention and Rescue (GIR) for destruction. No arrests have been made so far.
It is understood that the Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation to track down those responsible and the crime being investigated is trafficking in prohibited or unauthorized firearms, ammunition and explosives, as provided for in article 361 of the Comprehensive Organized Penal Code (COIP).
“Anyone who manufactures, supplies, acquires, sells or transports weapons, their parts and components, ammunition, explosives, accessories or materials used for their manufacture that are prohibited by current laws and regulations or not authorized by the competent state authorities shall be punished with a heavier penalty than the previous one, i.e., a prison sentence of five to seven years.” (I)
